Columbia Fireflies News Release
COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Columbia Fireflies today announced they will be one of 16 communities featured in Minor League Baseball's new multi-year sponsorship with Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the largest dedicated residential solar company in the United States. As the "Preferred Residential Solar Power Provider of Minor League Baseball," Sunrun will share how baseball fans across the country can save 20 percent on their home electricity bills with clean power from the sun.
To kick off the partnership and the 2016 season, Fireflies first baseman Dash Winningham has been selected to Sunrun's "The Future is Bright" lineup. The list consists of one top prospect from each of the 16 local communities that Sunrun serves in partnership with MiLB.
In 2015, Winningham spent his second season of professional baseball with the advanced-rookie level Kingsport Mets. In 66 games, he hit .266 and led the Appalachian League with 12 home runs and 51 RBIs.
The Fireflies will also be hosting "Sunrun Sundays" throughout the season, giving young fans the opportunity to escort players to their on-field positions as part of Sunrun's Jr. All-Stars program.
"Dash Winningham is one of our organization's top prospects, and we're happy to see him receive recognition in Sunrun's 'The Future is Bright' lineup," said John Katz, general manager of the Fireflies. "The new partnership with Sunrun gives us the opportunity to further develop the family atmosphere at Spirit Communications Park by incorporating 'Sunrun Sundays' activities and promoting home solar power."
