SUGAR LAND, TX - The Sugar Land Skeeters Opening Day 2015 is set for Thursday, April 23 and will feature a 2014 Championship Series rematch against the Lancaster Barnstormers. The Skeeters were narrowly defeated by the Barnstormers in Game 3 of the 2014 Championship Series in a nail-biting, 13-inning game.
"We are excited to host the Atlantic League 2015 season opener and showcase a rematch of the 2014 Championship Series," said General Manager of the Sugar Land Skeeters, Christopher Jones. "We've got fireworks, live music and plenty of Texas-sized entertainment for the whole family."

Opening Weekend vs. the Barnstormers includes Friday Night Fireworks (Friday, April 24), an exciting, postgame firework show, and Sunday Fun Day (Sunday, April 26) that incorporates pregame catch on the field and player autograph session followed by postgame kids run the bases.
The other six Atlantic League teams will host their season openers on Friday, April 24 with the Camden Riversharks at Bridgport Bluefish, Long Island Ducks at York Revolution and Somerset Patriots at the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
In correspondence with the new Opening Day, the first game of a seven-game homestand (Tuesday, July 21) scheduled between the Skeeters and the Barnstormers in late July at Constellation Field will now be an off day for both teams.
