An important element of the Dell Technologies-Round Rock Express partnership is identifying ways we can impact the local community together in positive ways. We’re proud to have financially supported the following organizations in the past year to help further their goals of serving in action.
Covering Home, presented by Ashley HomeStore, is a community volunteer initiative comprised of Round Rock Express ownership and staff. Built on an Express Core Value of "passionately participating in the community," we instill in our employees that the platform of baseball should be used as a vehicle for service. Covering Home was initially launched in early 2016 to offer ownership, staff, players and coaches opportunities to give back to the community at least twelve times a year. By choosing a new organization or cause with whom to partner each month, volunteers can participate in initiatives that are important to them. The Round Rock Express and Ashley HomeStore will work together to donate time and resources to local organizations that better the community we call home. For more information about Covering Home, please call 512-255-2255 or email info@rrexpress.com.

Nitro Circus Flies into Round Rock Express High-Adrenaline Live Entertainment Visits Dell Diamond on October 10
The ever-versatile Dell Diamond will add another unique event to its portfolio on Sunday, October 10 as Nitro Circus brings it’s electrifying “You Got This” tour to Round Rock for the first time! With thrill-loving fans clamoring to experience the exhilaration that only live action sports can deliver, Nitro Circus is gearing up to make its highly-anticipated return with an extensive North American trek that will visit more than 25 cities across the continent this year. Nitro Circus’ roster of elite athletes are set to brave the world’s largest jumps right here at Dell Diamond. The legendary 45-foot Giganta ramp will launch athletes into the sky at 40 miles per hour, while on the moto side riders will send it 65-feet high. Nitro’s daredevils will also attempt the craziest stunts imaginable on new contraptions you never imagine could fly! With no roof there are no limits. These real-life action heroes are sure to inspire fans of all ages as they push the envelope at every show with incredible never-seen-before tricks. The “You Got This” tour will feature a packed roster of top international action sports athletes highlighted by Australia’s Ryan Williams, a dual threat on both BMX and scooter. Williams is already a four-time Nitro World Games winner as well as a three-time X Games gold medalist. Nitro ringleader Travis Pastrana considers him, “Hands down, the best action sports athlete alive today.” Decorated U.S. BMX rider Kurtis Downs will push Williams to raise his game every night. Downs recently stunned America while competing in TBS’ “Go-Big Show,” ultimately battling his way to the finals during the national broadcast. Mountain bike pro, Nitro Circus contraptions king and professional fun-haver Dusty Wygle will also brave the Giganta ramp, dropping in with vehicles that have no business going airborne. Aussie Jarryd McNeil, the first moto rider to win four consecutive X Games golds in a single discipline ( just a small portion of his 15-medal trophy case) will lead Nitro’s FMX team. The moto lineup also includes fellow countryman Blake “Bilko” Williams, a multiple X Games medalist in his own right, American FMX legend Adam Jones, Javier Villegas from Chile, an X Games medalist who has also podiumed at Nitro World Games, and more. Tickets are on sale now at RRExpress.com.

8 Over the years, the game of baseball has evolved and so have methods for scoring the game. Different fans have different ways of keeping a scorecard, and many use their own notations. Our simple method involves using the symbols below to record each play depending on the outcome. The different numeric positions listed to the right can be used to add further detail.

For example, if a batter flies out to center field, "F8" could be written in the box. If a batter grounds out to third, "G53" would show the third baseman throwing to the first baseman to record the out. Finally, if a shortstop makes an error, "E6" could be used to describe the play.

A 50/50 Raffle means that half of the net proceeds from 50/50 ticket sales each night will go to one lucky fan while the other half will go back to the Nolan Ryan Foundation. Fans will be able to purchase raffle tickets from the time the gates open until the end of the sixth inning. The winner will be announced in the seventh inning. At the end of the season, the Nolan Ryan Foundation will make a donation to a variety of local nonprofit organizations in Central Texas through their recently-founded community grant program. Every night is a new chance to not only win, but help a great cause in the process. Tickets can be purchased at the 50/50 Raffle kiosk on the concourse behind home plate or from one of the roaming vendors throughout Dell Diamond. All raffle ticket purchases must be made with cash or a debit card. Credit cards will not be accepted, per state law.
