LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - The Louisville Bats will return to Louisville Slugger Field for their first six-game homestand of the season next week! The week will be packed full of promotions and excitement, highlighted by the season's first 502 Friday and all-day festivities to celebrate Thunder Over Louisville on Saturday.
In their second home series of the season from Tuesday, April 8 to Sunday, April 13, the Bats will play host to the Indianapolis Indians, Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It is the first of two times that the Bats will host Indianapolis, with the Indians coming back to town for a three-game series from Tuesday, July 1 to Thursday, July 3. Nick Curran and Jim Kelch will be on the call for all six games on WKRD Sports Talk 790 AM. Bats games are also live streamed free on the MiLB and Bally Live apps.
This homestand will feature the introduction of the Bats/Louisville Sports Commission 50-50 Raffle. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets from members of the Louisville Sports Commission who will be at the ballpark throughout the games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Fans can purchase tickets for $4 each or in higher quantities for discounted rates for a chance to win a cash award. The drawing for the raffle winner will take place on Sunday.
