Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs have announced they are pushing back the first pitch of two more Sunday home games at Regency Furniture Stadium. The August 30 game against the Bridgeport Bluefish originally scheduled for 2:05 p.m. will now begin at 5:05 p.m. The September 13 game against the Somerset Patriots has also been moved back from 2:05 to 5:05. There are no additional changes to the Blue Crabs home schedule at this time.

The changes come after good feedback to the organization pushing back this past Sunday's game, a 6-4 win over the Newark Bears, from 2:05 to 5:05 p.m. The team has also previously changed the Sunday, September 6 game against Somerset to 5:05 p.m. as well, the evening before Labor Day.

"When speaking with our fans this past Sunday, overall they seemed very pleased with our decision to have the game in the early evening," said Blue Crabs General Manager Chris Allen. "The weather is a little cooler and more enjoyable that time of day, and we felt our crowd was very good so it makes sense to play all three of our remaining Sunday home games at 5:05 p.m. this season," continued Allen.

Fans who have planned group outings to these particular games and have questions about the changes in schedule should contact their Blue Crabs group sales representative by calling the front office at 301-638-9788. Any other questions or concerns should also be directed to that number.
