State College Spikes News Release


(STATE COLLEGE, PA) - State College Spikes fans can enjoy a trio of jam-packed nights at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park starting this weekend as a fantastic FIREWORKS show, a pair of sensational giveaways, and an appearance by multi-talented star of stage and screen Corey Feldman highlight a three-game homestand from July 18-20.

The Spikes will play host to the Batavia Muckdogs (Miami Marlins), and the fun begins on Saturday, July 18 when the first 1,000 fans of all ages receive a Rowan Wick Home Run King Poster Giveaway presented by Penn State Hershey Medical Group. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:05 p.m. game against the Muckdogs, and every fan will be a winner on Scratch n' Win Saturday.

Plus, Saturday will also give the chance for one lucky fan to play Plinko and be a big winner thanks to Lion Country Kia. Every Saturday, another brand new KIA will be on the line if a contestant can drop Plinko discs in the "K," "I" and "A" slots on the board in order. Contestants will also have the chance to win other great prizes.

Then on Sunday, July 19, the Spikes take on Batavia at 6:05 p.m. with an array of activities for the whole family. The night is highlighted by the appearance of Corey Feldman, who rose to fame thanks to a string of 1980's movie blockbusters, to meet and greet fans thanks to Comcast Spotlight. Feldman will throw out a ceremonial first pitch, guest star on Spikes Live! presented by Mount Nittany Health, and sign autographs during the game. Corey and his Angels will perform a short musical set immediately after the game as well.

Northwest will also present a pair of powerful promotions. The first 1,000 fans of all ages through the gates when they open to the public at 5:00 p.m. will receive a full-size New York-Penn League Championship Flag. After the game, the skies will light up with another Sunday FIREWORKS show.

Fans will have the opportunity to earn free tickets to Sunday's game thanks to Northwest as well. The first 10 fans to visit Northwest's State College branch at 1767 North Atherton Street on Friday and say, "I'm here to capture the flag," will win four (4) tickets to Sunday's game and a New York-Penn League Championship Flag of their own.

It's also Team Ream Day at the ballpark, as the Spikes and Team Ream join together to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. Fans will be thrilled by a pre-game BMX demonstration as part of Team Ream Day in the Porter North parking lot.

The Sunday fun also includes Kids Day, presented by First National Bank, with a pre-game catch on the field and Kids Run the Bases after the game thanks to Clinical Outcomes Group, Inc. Kids 12 and under will also get a free hot dog, chips, soda and a one-time free play pass for Ike's Kids Zone thanks to Dairy Queen Grill & Chill.

Monday, the three-game set concludes with a 7:05 p.m. game against the Muckdogs on Buck Night, presented by 95.3 FM 3WZ. Get into the park with $1 Outfield Bleacher tickets, then enjoy $1 hot dogs, $1 small sodas and $1 peanut boats all game long. Fans can soar on Superhero Night at the ballpark.
