SUGAR LAND, TX - The Skeeters will host the annual Fan Fest on Saturday, April 18 from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Constellation Field. For the first time, fans are invited to participate in a special batting practice as part of the #SaLute2Fans initiative for the 2015 season.

"Our fans will have the exclusive chance to step into the batter's box and take a swing for the fences during Fan Fest," said Chris Jones, General Manager of the Sugar Land Skeeters. The batting practice will include prizes, photo opportunities and live, on-field commentary from Skeeters broadcaster Ira Liebman.

Fans will have the opportunity to watch the Skeeters team workout and then a player autograph session will follow. Skeeters Manager Gary Gaetti and select players will participate in a mock press conference where fans can participate in a question and answer forum.
