MISSOULA, MONT - The Missoula Osprey will begin a seven-game homestand on Wednesday, July 11, when they will host the Grand Junction Rockies and Orem Owlz at Ogren Park Allegiance Field. The homestand will feature a t-shirt giveaway, a night to honor our local heroes, a chance to go home with a new friend, and a preview of what could be to come for the current Osprey in a unique way.
The Osprey will have their annual T-shirt night on Friday, July 13, when they will close out their three-game series with the Grand Junction Rockies. The first 750 fans through the gates will receive the t-shirt, sponsored by Missoula Federal Credit Union and KPAX-TV. Happy Hour night is also Friday with the gates opening at 5:30 and food and drink specials in the new Nest will go until 6:30.
On Saturday, the Osprey will celebrate their 35 former players with major league experience and their long standing affiliation with the Arizona Diamondback. Fans will get to see how their squad looks in Sedona Red, as Welcome to the Major Leagues Night takes place in the series opener with the Orem Owlz. Both teams will be wearing the jerseys of their parent club - the Osprey will wear the Arizona Diamondbacks uniforms, while the Owlz will wear the uniforms of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
On Monday, the Osprey will recognize the area firefighters and police officers with the annual Local Heroes Night, which includes a pre-game softball game starting at 6 p.m.
On Tuesday, the final game of the homestand, the Osprey will be hosting a Pet Adoption Night, sponsored by Kendall 4 Seasons Subaru. Fans attending the game will have the opportunity to view pets up for adoption, and will be able to take home a new four-legged friend after the game.
