Tucson Sidewinders News Release


Tucson, AZ - The first place Tucson Sidewinders return home on Tuesday, May 11 to face the East Divison leading Oklahoma RedHawks (Texas Rangers) and the New Orleans Zephyrs. The Sidewinders own an 18-13 record, identical to Oklahoma's, following a 4-4 road trip to division rivals Las Vegas and Fresno. Tucson has won 4 of their last 5 thanks in part to the hot bat of 1B Steve Neal. Neal has hit 5 bombs in his last 5 games and is riding a 2004 Sidewinder long 11-game hitting streak.

The homestand kicks off with the third Toro Tuesday of the season and is highlighted by Sidewinders Baseball Cap Giveaway on Friday, May 14 and The Famous Chicken on May 15, 2004. Good seats remain for all games. The Tucson Electric Park box office can be reached at (520) 434-1021. Gates open one hour before game time unless otherwise noted.
