Dozens of country music artists and athletes gathered at Nashville’s First Horizon Park for The Folds of Honor Tennessee 2nd Annual Rock ‘N Jock Celebrity Softball Game on Monday, June 6.
With all proceeds benefiting the families of America’s fallen and injured service members, the star-studded event brought out thousands of fans in support of the cause.
The game kicked off with a performance of the National Anthem by two-time GRAMMY winner Jason Crabb.
Facing off against each other was Team Budweiser (Kane Brown, Jameson Rodgers, Chris Lane, Mitchell Tenpenny, John Crist, ERNEST, Julia Cole, Hannah Cook, HARDY, Raymundo, Jason Crabb, Chip Esten, Alexandra Kay, Melanie Collins, and Cortland Finnegan) and Team US Ventures (Riley Green, Shawn Booth, Jimmie Allen, Chuck Wicks, Will Compton, Eric Decker, Jessie James Decker, Missy Franklin, Morgan Huelsman, Tyler Braden, Jelly Roll, Andrew East, Shawn Johnson and Michael Ray).
The players brought their A-game and the artists proved their talents extend beyond the stage as they showcased their sportsmanship on the field.
It was an intense battle between the teams, but it was Team Budweiser who pulled off the win with an overall score of 24-18.
HARDY was named the offensive MVP for the evening, while Hannah Cook was crowned the defensive MVP.
Following the game, Rock ‘N Jock presented Folds Of Honor Tennessee with a check for $65,000.
Rock ‘N Jock was an excellent way to kick off CMA Fest week in Nashville.
