Italian Heritage Night is being celebrated at Clover Stadium in Pomona on Sunday coinciding with the 25th Anniversary of “The Sopranos” TV show. As part of the celebration, Steve Schirripa, who starred as Bobby ‘Bacala’ Baccalieri, will be hosting private VIP meet-and-greets before the game. As he recently told “The Morning Show,” there are differences between playing a cop on “Blue Bloods” with Tom Selleck as he does now, to playing a mobster on “The Sopranos…”

You can meet Steve and his dog Willy the Weenie Sunday in a private meet and greet at 2pm. The VIP experience includes a photo and autograph with Steve, a ticket to the game and a catered meal in the suite that includes sausage and peppers, meatballs and baked ziti.

And that was Marc Ernay with the call on the Boulders Broadcast Network. The Boulders would go on to lose Saturday’s game, 5-3, and they closed out the home stand with a win yesterday, 7-2. The Boulders remain atop the Eastern division, they have the day off today.

Game three of the New York Boulders’ three-game home stand against the Sussex County Miners last night in Pomona was postponed due to rain.

Bruno Stadium in Troy, NY, against the Tri-City ValleyCats, game time 6:30.
