Hitting coach Brian Daubach and catcher Max Romero will be on hand, and there will also be a raffle for a game-worn jersey of Cortland Lawson, who had the series-winning hit in the third game of the International League Championship Series.
The Red Wings beat the Memphis Redbirds in three games in the ILCS for the team’s first IL title since 1997, but lost in Saturday’s AAA National Championship Game to the Oklahoma City Comets. Despite the ending, however, Matt LeCroy‘s squad – which finished with a 90-53 mark in the regular season that saw the most wins for the team since 1953 – had one of the best seasons in the franchise’s long history.
As far as next year: Rochester starts the 2027 season on Friday, March 26 with a home game against the Syracuse Mets.
