The Florence Freedom are hosting the River City Rascals Thursday night in what will be much more than just a baseball game.
The Freedom have partnered with the Boone County Schools to make this Boone County Community Night a special one. When fans enter the promo code “schools”, $2 of their online ticket purchase will go back to the Boone Country Education Foundation.
It is also the first Thirsty Thursday of the 2016 season, which means $1 domestic beers and $4 craft beers.
There will also be appearances from everyone’s favorite cowboy, cowgirl, and space ranger. With so much to offer for the entire family, this will be a night fans will not want to miss.
Florence continues its season-opening homestand with a doubleheader Wednesday. The first game is scheduled to begin at 5:35 p.m.

In 2015, the Frontier League recognized the Freedom as the league’s organization of the year and awarded the team with the league’s All-Star event.
The 2016 season will mark the 13th year the Freedom have played in Florence.
Gooding named Frontier League Pitcher of the Week
After a stellar start on Opening Night, Jeremy Gooding has been named the Frontier League Pitcher of the Week for the third time in his career.
The right-hander from Livonia, Mich. continued his Frontier League success by earning the win in a 7-1 Freedom victory. He allowed just one run and four hits in 6.1 innings, while striking out seven and walking none.
After allowing a home run to Windy City’s Reggie Lawson in the top of the second, Gooding did not let a runner reach second base in his final five-plus innings. At one point, the Freedom ace sat down ten ThunderBolts in a row.
Dating back to last season, Gooding is 4-0 with a 0.76 ERA in his last five Frontier League starts (35.1 innings). During that stretch he has struck out 28, while allowing just 24 men to reach base via hits or walks.
