Round Rock Express News Release


ROUND ROCK, Texas - The Round Rock Express begins an eight-game home stand this weekend, opening a four-game series against the Omaha Storm Chasers (Kansas City Royals). The series runs Friday through Monday with a 7:05 p.m. CDT first pitch each night.

Friday series opener promises to be a fun-filled night at The Dell Diamond. Texas Rangers right-hander Neftali Feliz is scheduled to make a three-inning rehab start with the Express. Feliz, currently on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained right UCL, began rehab work Monday with a two-inning start with Double-A Frisco. He is 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA in seven starts and one relief appearance for Texas this season.

The series opener also features Bud Light Friday Fireworks. Saturday night, the first 2,500 fans will receive Express ear-bud headphones presented by AT&T. Sunday is H-E-B Kids Day with a pregame carnival and postgame base-running for all kids age 12 and under; there also will be a player meet-and-greet for all Junior Sluggers members. The series concludes Monday with Dollar Hot Dogs and Sodas presented by Mrs Baird's.

Defending Pacific Coast League champion Omaha comes to The Dell Diamond as one of the league's best teams. The Storm Chasers enter Thursday's action with a 58-40 record and lead the PCL's American Northern Division by 15-and-a-half games. Omaha features one of the league's most potent lineups, including former Express outfielder Jason Bourgeois.
