Nashville Sounds News Release


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds return home to Greer Stadium this Friday, August 10, to open an eight-game homestand against the Salt Lake Bees (Angels affiliate) and Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners affiliate) of the PCL Pacific Conference Northern Division.

Highlighting the homestand's worth of promotions will be three fireworks shows, the final two Trevecca Nazarene University FAITH NIGHTS® pregame concerts of the season, and "Double Plays for Down Syndrome Night" - a special evening for the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee and the Pujols Family Foundation at the ballpark during which the Sounds will wear special blue and yellow pinstriped jerseys on the field.

Postgame fireworks will light up the sky as the Sounds welcome the Salt Lake Bees to Nashville for the only time in 2012 for Friday's homestand opener. Musical artist Bethel World Outreach will perform the first of two Trevecca Nazarene University FAITH NIGHTS® pregame concerts of the homestand on the plaza stage near the first-base entrance approximately one hour before a 7:05 p.m. first pitch. Gates open a half-hour earlier than normal at 5:35 p.m.

Saturday night's 6:35 p.m. contest is Girl Scout Night, offering Girl Scouts an opportunity for a fun-filled evening camping right on the field - overnight at Greer Stadium (weather permitting).

Also on Friday, the Sounds will be wearing blue and yellow pinstriped jerseys on "Double Plays for Down Syndrome Night" in support of Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee and in partnership with the Pujols Family Foundation.
