Mary Nixon - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Mary, a native of Macungie PA, grew up an avid softball player which took her to compete in a Division 2 college program. Nixon’s love of sports prompted her to acquire a degree in Sports Administration at DeSales University. Upon graduation, Mary began her career as Director of Corporate Outings with the Independent Baseball Team Allentown Ambassadors in their inaugural season.

Mary continued her professional career as Regional Training Manager for Jillian’s Entertainment, gaining an enormous amount of experience in creating and implementing strategic plans for successfully opening over 10 large scale, multi-unit entertainment centers up to 100,000 square feet with an average of 10 to 15 managers and 500 hourly employees. For the next 8 years, Mary continued her professional career as a Training Manager in Key West Fl, and then as a Managing Partner and Corporate Beverage Director for Rafferty’s Restaurants for 25 East Coast locations.

Upon returning to Pennsylvania, Mary was able to converge her love of baseball and 10 years of operations experience by joining the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the inaugural season as Director of Special Events. Within 9 months, Mary took over the Catering operation of the ballpark and simultaneously created and implemented every aspect for the Catering and Special Event programs.

Mary’s success in the development and execution of the special events and catering programs for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs allowed for her expertise to be sought out by other minor league baseball teams. Namely the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Hartford YardGoats and Rocket City TrashPandas.

In 2015 Mary formed her own LLC to continue working with multiple minor league teams in addition to other notable companies. Mary joins the Hillcats for her second full season with the club and will be overseeing the financial operation of the team.

Southpaw - Director of Fun!

Southpaw was adopted from the Lynchburg Humane Society in January of 2017. With the legacy that his retiring predecessor left behind, Southpaw instantly had HUGE shoes to fill. Luckily for us, Southpaw has big feet....and awesome blue chucks! He has fit in puuurfectly here by adding to the excitement of Bank of the James Stadium. This lovable, green, giant can be seen dancing on dugouts, driving around on his four wheeler, entertaining birthday parties, taking photos with fans,and of course cheering on his number one team!

Outside of the stadium, you can see Southpaw making a difference and lending a hand in the community, hanging out with students during the Hillcats' Hit the Books Reading program,and volunteering for numerous non-profits. Southpaw graduated from Feline Training Academy and received a masters in Mascoting with a minor in Cathletics. Southpaw spends his free time watching Animal Planet and BASEBALL, hanging out at the scratch post with furry friends, and believe or not he is a pretty talented meowsician (he plays puurrcussion). Southpaw wants his fans to know that he thinks they are all PAWsome!**
