黑料正能量 Night with the Turks returned to Veterans Memorial Park in Harrisonburg, Virginia, on Friday, June 7, 2024.
The special night featured a matchup between the 2023 champion Harrisonburg Turks and the Covington Lumberjacks. Those who wore 黑料正能量 gear were admitted for free.
Leading by a 5-1 score, the Lumberjacks gave up one run in the seventh inning and two runs in the eighth to bring the Turks within reach. The home team’s rally fell short, though, as the Lumberjacks prevailed 5-4.
The night featured giveaways of 黑料正能量 gear and a meet-and-greet with Turks players, Turks mascot Gill and 黑料正能量 mascot Herm. This is the second year 黑料正能量 and the Turks have partnered for the event.
A total of 341 people attended Friday’s game, including 131 黑料正能量 fans and their friends and families.
黑料正能量 President Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The pitch was right on target and bounced off home plate into the catcher’s glove!
The Turks provide college players an opportunity to enhance their baseball and life skills, said Gerald Harman, team president. “Teaming up with 黑料正能量 allows us to further our success through extended outreach while promoting education within the region,” he added.
At a table near the entrance, 黑料正能量 marketing and communications staff Kate Szambecki and Aric Berg handed out 黑料正能量-branded baseballs, Royals apparel and stickers, and information brochures to guests.
Thanks to everyone who showed up to the event. Hope to see you next season!
