Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release
Tonight: Wednesday, June 13 - 7:00
The Bay-to-Bay Series makes its first stop in Pensacola! Check out the series preview on YouTube! If you're coming to the game be sure to show your state pride by sporting your school's colors. Oakland A's first-round draft pick Addison Russell, out of Pace, will be on hand to throw out the first pitch as we send him off to begin his professional career.
Thursday, June 14 - 7:05
It's Thirsty Thursday which means $2 beer specials and $1 sodas. It all starts when gates open at 5:30. Dress in your favorite Pirate attire because we're making it Pirate Night. We will show special videos, have unique graphics, and our staff will be dressed appropriately as well. Feel free to dress up and join in the fun! In honor of Flag Day, we will have a special flag here that flew during battle in Afghanistan. It will be raised ceremoniously before the game. Stick around after the game for a special fireworks show presented by Warren Averett O'Sullivan Creel. If you have a flag or know of any flags that need to be retired properly, please bring them by. U.S. Naval Sea Cadets will be collecting the flags at the main entrance for a retirement ceremony they will be holding on Saturday, June 16 at Memorial Park.
The BayBears will be sending one of the DiamondBacks top pitching prospects to the mound in Tyler Skaggs. Skaggs was rated as the #13 overall prospect in baseball and Arizona's #3 rated prospect. He was their first round pick in 2009 out of Santa Monica High School in California and this is your chance to see him live!
If you can't make it to the game, no worries, WFGX MY35 will air all the action live.

Friday is Fan Appreciation Friday and we're giving away Blue Wahoos drawstring backpacks to the first 2,000 fans thanks to Woodlands Medical Specialists. In the spirit of the Bay-to-Bay Series, we're hosting an oyster eating contest. Fans can sign up at the game.
Saturday, June 16 - 6:30
Saturday has quickly become synonymous with one thing at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium, FIREWORKS! Stick around after the game for another spectacular fireworks show courtesy of Woodlands Medical Specialists. It'll also be 50's night, meaning that we will have themed music, graphics, dressed up staff, and more!
Sunday, June 17 - 2:00
It's a special Father's Day edition of Family Sunday. This time, we're giving dads the chance to prove they've still got it by allowing all dads to run the bases after the game and families get to play catch on the field after the game thanks to McDonalds. As you leave, keep your eyes peeled for Pensacola's largest ice cream sundae (it'll be hard to miss). Feel free to partake as you leave after the game. Also after the game Hill Kelly Dodge will be on hand offering test drives of the new Dodge Ram.
