The fun will kick off two days prior to Opening Day with the 2nd annual pre-season "Pep Dog Rally" on Wednesday June 15th starting at 6 p.m. This free event will be fans' first chance to meet this year's team. The night will feature games for the kids, local mascots, and prizes and raffles throughout the night. A particular highlight of the evening will be a wiffle ball homerun derby that anyone can participate in.
