Hagerstown Suns News Release


HAGERSTOWN, MD -- The Hagerstown Suns will wrap up their current series against the Lakewood BlueClaws with a 7:05 p.m. Thirsty Thursday at Municipal Stadium tonight, then close out their homestand over the weekend with three games against the Delmarva Shorebirds.

The Suns' second-to-last home series of 2009 will open with Friday Night Fireworks, presented by 1340 WEPM, and Saturday night's game will feature a Vernon Wells Hall of Fame Statuette giveaway for the first 1,000 fans in attendance.

First, the BlueClaws -- an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies -- will make their final appearance of 2009 at Municipal Stadium tonight. As with every Thirsty Thursday, presented by Rock 101.5fm, 12 oz. domestic drafts will be selling for just $1.25 throughout the ballpark during the game.

Friday night's 7:05 p.m. contest will welcome into town the Delmarva Shorebirds -- an affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. The gates at Municipal Stadium will open early on Friday, at 5:30 p.m. The post-game Fireworks show is one of only three remaining at Municipal Stadium this season.

Another 7:05 p.m. start is set for Saturday, with gates opening at 6:05 p.m., and the Suns advise fans hoping to secure one of the 1,000 Vernon Wells Hall of Fame Statuettes to arrive well in advance, as the giveaway items are not expected to last long.

Saturday will also be the Suns' Football Kick-Off Classic, and all fans are invited to wear the jersey of their favorite NFL or college team in anticipation of life following baseball season.

The series against the Shorebirds will wrap up on Sunday afternoon at 2:05 p.m., and fans can look forward to the Suns' usual lineup of family-friendly Sunday promotions. A Suns player will be reading to kids ages 1-7 on the field prior to the game as part of Suns Story Time, presented by the Washington County Arts Council. Also before the game, select Suns players will be available inside the gates to sign their photos for fans, free of charge, as part of the Suns on Sundays promotion, presented by Pictures Plus.

After Sunday's game, all kids in attendance will have a chance to head down to the field for Kids Run the Bases, presented by The Greene Turtle. Once all the festivities at Municipal Stadium wrap up, fans can still get their fill of the Suns by heading over to Pizza Hut at 1396 Dual Highway and joining radio broadcasters Ryan Mock and Darin Sense for the Pizza Hut Post Game Show. While enjoying some delicious food from Pizza Hut, fans can sit in on live interviews with select Suns players, who will be on hand for the event. This Sunday marks the final Pizza Hut Post Game Show of 2009.
