The Roberto Clemente Bridge will be closed starting at 6pm Thursday through 2am Sunday to accommodate crowds expected for the games.

Zoom in: Two locals play for the Bananas — Ryan Cox from Hopewell and Alex Ziegler from Butler.

How to watch: The games will be broadcast on truTV and available for streaming on HBO Max.
