Originally scheduled to take place at Constellation Field, Roger Clemens' celebrity softball game is now scheduled for Minute Maid Park on July 15. The event, which benefits Clemens' foundation, has been promoted by the Sugar Land Skeeters as taking place at their stadium as recently as July 1 in game notes. (If the previous link is blank, try this one). July 15 is the day before the Atlantic League All-Star Game, which is being held at Constellation Field.
Roger Clemens pitched two games for Sugar Land in 2012. His son, Koby had been a member of the Skeeters since September 2012. However, he was released on Thursday, June 26 according to the Atlantic League website.

The University of Houston(39-13) and Rice University(34-16) are scheduled to wrap up their three game season series at 6:30 pm tonight in Sugar Land.
