Slippery Rock, PA -After a month of waiting, 92 unique team name submissions, and nearly 1,000 votes in the Name the Team contest, the name of Slippery Rock's club in the Frontier League will be unveiled tonight.

"I'd like to thank the Butler County Radio Network for administering the Name the Team contest, Ibistek Apparel for their creative work in designing the logo, and the Texas Roadhouse for hosting tonight's event."

The logo will be introduced by the winning fan in the Name the Team contest, who will receive four reserved tickets to Opening Night, be introduced during the pregame ceremonies along with the team, and participate in the ceremonial first pitch.

Slippery Rock Professional Baseball will begin its inaugural season on Wednesday, May 23, at the Washington Wild Things.
