Rockville Express Needs Host Families...Today!

The Rockville Express players are arriving for their first practice today, Sunday, June 1st, and the team still needs six host families for the out-of-town players. If you can help, contact Brad Botwin at [email protected], or stop by their first practice from 5 PM - 6 PM at the Montgomery College Rockville field off Mannakee Street.

The Rockville Express plays in the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League, which attracts talented college players from around the country. Someday they may be major league stars and they need a place to stay!

The team wants you to know:
