American Defenders of New Hampshire News Release

Well, its not the start to the road trip the Pride envisioned, but despite dropping 3 of the first 4 on this nine-game road trip (the longest of the season), Nashua still sits in first place in the North Division of the Atlantic League, leading both the Long Island Ducks and the Bridgeport Bluefish by 3 games. For game recaps and standings, go to www.nashuapride.com

HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN...

The Pride return home for the first of a three-game set with Pennsylvania on Tuesday, June 17th at 6:35 PM, and then play all but six of the last 21 games prior to the All-Star break at home (oh, yes, and have I mentioned at all in these newsletters that the All-Star game is at Holman Stadium on July 9th?). All Tuesday's are family nights where you can get four tickets for just $20, and for a list of all of the Pride's promotions, special guests, town nights and other great reasons why you should be at Holman Stadium and nowhere else this summer (including the next appearance by the World Famous Monkey Boy on June 25th), head over to www.NashuaPride.com.
