Following the doubleheader, the Tornadoes will be on the road for seven games, beginning with a three-game set in Brockton to take on the Rox, followed by a return to Lynn for four more. The Tornadoes will then come home to christen newly renovated Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field on Monday, June 6 at 7:05 p.m. against Brockton. The game will mark the return of professional baseball to Worcester after a 71-year absence.
Opening Week will continue against Brockton on June 7 and 8, and then the New Jersey Jackals from June 10 through 12. Tickets for these games and every Tornadoes home game can be purchased at the ticket office, over the phone or online at www.worcestertornadoes.com.
