WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic

Officials from the Hudson Valley Renegades, Army Athletic Association and Marist College Athletic Department today announced the details of the eighth annual WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic, to be played between Army and Marist at Dutchess Stadium on April 24.

The contest pits the Hudson Valley's lone Division I baseball programs, Army and Marist, and brings together residents and fan bases from neighboring communities for an evening of quality entertainment at the home of the area's lone minor league baseball team affiliated with a major league franchise, the Hudson Valley Renegades.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. for this year's contest and will showcase a pair of teams with NCAA aspirations, followed by post-game fireworks.

Pregame festivities will include an autograph session with players from both Army and Marist, an on-field Color Guard presenting colors and a contingent of the Army Glee Club and Marist Singer's performing the National Anthem. A spectacular fireworks show provided by Legion Fireworks Company will cap the evening. The impressive fireworks display will begin immediately following the on-field presentation of the WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic Trophy to the team captains and head coach of the winning club. 

As in the past, there will be no admission charge for the event. However, complimentary tickets will be required to enter Dutchess Stadium on April 24.
