The event will take place at the Western Hills High School field on Wednesday night (July 11) with first pitch set for 6:35 p.m.
All three players have enjoyed outstanding performances in the first half of the summer. Johnson and Satterwhite will team up as members of the Blue team for the game, taking on Campana's Red team.
