Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina will be teaming up for charity at the CMA Fest Celeb Softball Game in June.
The American Idol alums join a roster of celebrities including Florida Georgia Line, Chuck Wicks, Brett Eldredge, and Krystal Keith in the game, which benefits the research and treatment center City of Hope.
The game is slated for June 8 at the Greer Stadium in Nashville, with the Grand Ole Opry and After MidNite teams facing off.
McCreery and Alaina both recently opened up about Randy Jackson's departure from the show that made them superstars, with McCreery noting: "Randy was there from the beginning and added a huge element to the show with his experience and critique that will be truly missed. I loved having him on my season, but even with him gone, he'll always be 'America's dawg.'"
Alaina added: "Randy always had my back. He was a wonderful judge. His spunk, encouragement, and smile will be missed on the judging panel."
