(AKRON, OHIO) July 26, 2020 – The Akron RubberDucks are proud to announce to two more games in this summer’s socially-distant Senior Spotlight Series at Canal Park. July 30 will feature another Suburban league showdown as Nordonia High School takes on Wadsworth High School, and July 31 showcases the Royals of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (CVCA) against the Titans of Triway High School. Each game will be a nine-inning exhibition with gates opening to fans at 5:30 p.m. and first pitch at 7:05 p.m. at the home of the Akron RubberDucks.
Despite the high school spring sports season being cut short due to the COVID-19 outbreak, each team will be able to celebrate Senior Night in a memorable way as players will have their pictures on the video board and pregame celebrations will commemorate the occasion.
"This summer has been unlike any other, but we are so thrilled to offer these student-athletes the opportunity to play one last game as seniors under the lights here at our ballpark. We know the players and coaches are missing out on many memories, but we know this Senior Night will be one to remember,” said RubberDucks Owner Ken Babby, “The safety of our community is of the utmost importance, and we will continue to offer a safe way for our community to celebrate these student-athletes. “
The Akron RubberDucks will continue to follow all social distancing protocols as outlined by Gov. DeWine, Mayor Horrigan, and state and local health officials. The attendance for each event will be limited to 1,000 fans at Canal Park, socially distanced within the seating bowl.
