Millersville, Pennsylvania - Millersville baseball will honor one of its own while raising money to support a cause close to home by hosting a K's For Cancer fundraiser during its doubleheader against West Chester at Cooper Park on Saturday, April 8.
Justin Flannery Hilton, who pitched for the Marauders from 2004-05, was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2008 and passed away in 2013 at age 28. In Hilton's memory, his family created K's For Cancer, a charity raising money to directly support cancer patients and their families in Lycoming County. In the first three years, the organization raised over $30,000, helping 135 families. The family also set up the Justin Hilton Memorial Scholarship for Millersville baseball players.
There will be a silent auction and T-shirts will be available for $20 during the games. The shirts feature jersey number 44, Hilton's number while he played at Millersville. All proceeds benefit K's For Cancer. Additionally, the team clubhouse pitchers' room will be dedicated in Hilton's honor with a plaque.
Hilton earned All-PSAC East Second Team honors as a starting pitcher in 2004. That year, he finished with a 1.69 ERA and 32 strikeouts in eight appearances. He was a teammate of Coach Jon Shehan's
