Walla Walla Sweets News Release


WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Locally owned and operated baseball teams and locally owned and operated hardware stores make great teammates. The Walla Walla Sweets and Ace Hardware of Walla Walla and Milton-Freewater, Ore. are excited to be partnering together for the 2013 season, and the organizations are extending that relationship to area youth sports teams through the Team of the Week promotion, presented by Ace Hardware.

Youth sports teams in Walla Walla, Milton-Freewater and surrounding communities can apply to be the Team of the Week, and the teams who are awarded the honor will receive (15) tickets, (15) hot dogs, and (15) sodas to a select Walla Walla Sweets game. They will be recognized on field during the game as the Ace Hardware Team of the Week, and have a digital picture of the team being honored emailed to the head coach to share with families. The Sweets and Ace Hardware will select six teams during the 2013 season for this honor, with applications being accepted at both the Walla Walla and Milton-Freewater Ace Hardware stores, as well as the Sweets Shoppe in downtown Walla Walla. Forms will be available at all three locations starting April 8.

"We are excited to welcome our friends at Ace Hardware to Borleske Stadium and to work with their team to create memorable opportunities for the youth sports participants in our community," said Sweets vice-president and general manager Zachary Fraser. "It will be a fun way to recognize not only the athletes but the coaches who volunteer their time to teach and mentor youth."

The Sweets will open the 2013 season of West Coast League baseball on June 5 at 7:05 P.M. with Opening Day presented by Northwestern Mutual.
