Welcome to COA’s 2024 Trenton Thunder Events!
May 18, 2024 at 11am: Sage Ferraro Memorial Game at Trenton Thunder Ballpark – COA Angels vs Hatboro Raydogs
Sage Ferraro was the starting pitcher for the Angels inaugural season in 2014. His devotion to the game of baseball began as a youth and never waned. Joining the Angels gave a purpose to Sage’s recovery from substance use disorder. #77 was planning to go to college where he hoped to pick up his baseball career on the college diamond. Tragically, on July 14, 2014 Sage Ferraro passed from an accidental heroin overdose. This game between the Angels and the Hatboro Raydogs, played at Trenton Thunder Ballpark, is held annually in Sage Ferraro’s memory. Join us Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 11am. Gates open at 9:30am. Admission is free and concessions are open.

August 17, 2024 at 6pm: Chris Kline Memorial Game -Catch It! Trenton Thunder vs Frederick Keys 6:00pm at Trenton Thunder Ballpark -Addiction Awareness Night Exhibit opens at 4:30pm
Chris Kline was an accomplished pitcher, but an even better catcher when he played with City of Angels. A lifelong baseball standout, he was the starting catcher for Notre Dame High School and played on both their 2013 and 2015 Mercer County Championship teams. Chris joined the Angels for the 2016 baseball season as we built the team for its eventual 2018 Championship. Due to his youthfulness, he became known as “Baby Chris”, though he commanded the respect of the senior players because of his leadership behind the plate. Chris earned a full-ride to Lehigh University after graduating high school. Tragically, Chris suffered from mental illness compounded by substance use disorder which eventually claimed his life on June 12, 2021. The Christopher Kline Memorial Game and Annual Addiction Awareness Night at the Trenton Thunder are held in Chris’ memory.
