Lynchburg Hillcats News Release
Lynchburg, Va. - The Lynchburg Hillcats have announced a game time change on Friday night's for the rest of the 2019 season at City Stadium. First pitch has been moved to 6:30 p.m., instead of a 6 p.m. start as originally scheduled.
Friday games will now feature Happy Hour beginning at 5 p.m., with a live DJ at the Kona Beach Bar down the right field line. Fans 21 and older will be able to enjoy drink specials from 5-6:30 p.m.
"We're excited to shake things up and introduce a Hour Hour prior to our Friday night games," said Hillcats President and General Manager Chris Jones. "After listening to the feedback from our fans, it became clear that this is something our community will enjoy. The later start time will also allow families more time to get home from work and head out to City Stadium in time for first pitch."
The Hillcats have eight Friday night home games remaining in the 2019 season, including this Friday, May 24, when Lynchburg takes on the Fayetteville Woodpeckers, A-Adv. affiliate of the Houston Astros. All Friday's still include post-game fireworks as part of Aloha Weekend.
Other home stand highlights this weekend include Cats Cares Night at City Stadium on Saturday, May 25, where all tickets are FREE, but fans are asked to give a donation at the box office to one of three pre-selected charities: The Society of St. Andrews, Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter and Journey Home Foster and Adoption Services and Support.
