“We are excited to continue this tradition in honor of our friend Ronnie,” said Hillcats’ President Chris Jones. “This is a great opportunity for the city of Lynchburg to see some of the local baseball stars that have made our community proud both on and off the field.”
The game will start at 6:30 p.m. and feature high school seniors from the Seminole District.
“Thank you to the Hillcats organization for again hosting the Robbie Roberts Classic this year,” said Coach Ryan Gilleland of Jefferson Forest High School. “Our players are excited, to say the least, to play at Bank James Stadium one last time with other seniors in the area.”
