June 7, 2023 - Pacific Coast League (PCL)
Sacramento River Cats News Release
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Sacramento River Cats are encouraging the next generation of baseball fans to bring a glove and ball to Sutter Health Park this weekend as the River Cats host PLAY BALL WEEKEND, a global effort to inspire participation in baseball and softball.
Kids and their guardians will have the opportunity to play catch and run on the same bases as Kyle Harrison, Luis Matos, Tyler Fitzgerald, and more future Giants prior to Friday's contest, as well as run the bases postgame after Sunday's game. Kids are also encouraged to wear their little league uniforms, and those who do so will have the chance to be chosen to participate in Sutter Health Park promotions.
A primary focus of PLAY BALL WEEKEND will be connecting with youth from different backgrounds, while closing equity gaps to accessing the game and encouraging kids, families, and communities to PLAY all summer long.
The first 100 kids, and their guardians, at the upcoming Orange Friday are welcomed onto the Sutter Health Park field for a pregame catch session. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the pregame catch on the field will start at 5:45 p.m. (PT) with the line starting in section 120. After the fun on the field, stick around for postgame fireworks.
If unable to attend Friday's game, come out on June 11 for Sunday Funday, which in addition to watching the series finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Aviators, will offer all kids the chance to run the bases postgame. Lineup will begin at section 104 and take the field once the final out is made.
The full schedule is available online at rivercats.com. Single game tickets and ticket packages are on sale now along with season ticket memberships. To purchase, call the River Cats ticket hotline at (916) 371-HITS (4487), email tickets@rivercats.com, or visit rivercats.com.
