(Erie, PA) - The Erie SeaWolves, Double-A Affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, announce today a partnership with Erie Sports Center to promote baseball in the Erie region.

The partners will collaborate on five summer baseball skills sessions for boys and girls (ages 5-12) at Erie Sports Center (June 4, July 2 & 16, August 6 & 13). A $40 donation to the Declan Bingham Scholarship Fund will provide access to all five skills sessions, a T-shirt, and tickets to select SeaWolves games.
