MASN to Televise Cal Ripken Sr. Collegiate All-Star Game
(Washington D.C.) -- MASN, the local leader in live sports entertainment, will broadcast the Mid-Atlantic Classic live on July 15th at 7 p.m. on MASN and MASN HD from the Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, MD, home of the independent Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
The game, which will pit a team of 28 Valley League Stars against a team of 28 Ripken, Sr. League Stars, will air in high definition during MLB's All-Star break. In addition to the game, a Home Run Derby between the two leagues will precede the contest at 5:30 p.m.
Legendary broadcaster Johnny Holliday and former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dave Johnson will handle play-by-play and color duties for the Classic, just as they did during MASN's broadcast of the Cal Ripken League All-Star Game in 2007.
"As the home of two Major League Baseballl teams, MASN is excited to showcase the best amateur talent in the Baltimore-Washington region throughout MASN's seven state territory," said MASN spokesman Todd Webster.

Will I be able to view the Cal Ripken Sr Collegiate All-Star Game on the MASN website Wednesday night?

Ed,
We will not be airing the game here on the website. It will strictly be on our air. Thanks for the question.
-Dan Kolko, Multimedia Director for MASNsports.com
I just want to thank MASN for broadcasting this game. As a fan of the VBL Haymarket Senators, having this game televised brings recognition to not only the teams of the Valley Baseball League and the Cal Ripken, Sr. League, but to all the NCAA studemt athletes who take their summer and come into the communities where they play. The thrill of seeing these fine young men, our boys of summer, every year is something more people should be able to come out and enjoy on a summer night.
Thanks, again, MASN, for your support of college summer baseball.
