WELL, TODAY WE'LL LEARN HOW MUCH THE PAIR RAISED AT THE 13TH ANNUAL STRIKE OUT CANCER DAY BALL GAME! THE GOAL FOR TONIGHT'S EVENT IS TO GIVE LOCAL CHILDREN WITH CANCER THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORGET ABOUT THEIR DISEASE WITH A FREE DAY AT THE BALLPARK! A TAILGATE PARTY WILL KICK OFF THE EVENING AT 4 P-M. KIDS WILL GET TO MEET WITH SAM DEKKER...A THOUSAND FANS WILL GET A DEKKER BOBBLEHEAD HEADING INTO THE GAME. THE DEKKERS HAD A FUNDRAISING GOAL OF 50-THOUSAND-DOLLARS, BUT THE AMOUNT RAISED HAS SURPASSED THEIR EXPECTIONS. THEY'LL SHARE THE TOTAL BEFORE THE START OF THE GAME AT 7.
