"I have been watching Dave Murray all week," commented Gateway GM Steve Gomric. "It looks like the weather will give way and we will be ready to go for Sunday night. I'm looking forward to putting on the best show of the year, and because our magic number is just one, we can clinch our division as well. Just another opportunity for a tremendous fan experience at GCS Ballpark."
Starting at 6:05 PM, the night will include 27 prizes for 27 outs, TP the Ballpark, Post-game fireworks and much more presented by Dutch Hallow Supplies.
