FULLERTON, Calif.

Friday's game will be the second "Family Film Friday" of the year with a post-game movie being shown on the outfield grass. This week the Flyers will be showing "The Natural" after the game. June 26 will be a "Souvenir Saturday" with a Flyers cap giveaway presented by Outdoor Cap.
