Heat up, prices down

The forecast calls for extreme heat today and tomorrow, which will lower the cost of tickets to a Rockland Boulders game at Provident Bank Park in Pomona.

At the time of purchase, for every degree it is above 90 degrees as per weather.com fans will receive a $1 discount off the price of their ticket. This is for any seat in the house, but can only be purchased at the box office, which is open starting at 9 a.m. through the end of the game that evening. Thus, if the temperature reaches 98 degrees at the time a fan is purchasing a ticket the prices would be as follows:

HP Box normally $16 now $8; INF Box normally $13 not $5; OF Box normally $11 now $3; Grandstand normally $8 now free.

The Boulders entertain the Grand Prairie Air Hogs tonight at 7 p.m., and host the Quebec Les Capitales on Friday, also at 7 p.m.

Infielder Ryan Mollica of Suffern is tied for second on the team in home runs with four, and ranks third in average (.333) and RBI (24), while right-handed pitcher Bobby Blevins of Briarcliff heads the staff with three wins, and ranks second in strikeouts with 32.
