DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Daytona Tortugas return to Jackie Robinson Ballpark to kickstart a six-game homestand on Monday, May 6, with three contests against the Palm Beach Cardinals, High-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. Among the highlights is a Belly Buster Monday, Silver Sluggers Night, and Bark in the Park Night.

The series gets underway on May 6 with a Belly Buster Monday presented by Marco's Pizza. For just a $13 ticket price, fans can enjoy a buffet of all-you-can-eat ballpark favorites such as hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, and popcorn. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

It will be a Silver Sluggers Night presented by MetCare at the ballpark on Tuesday, May 7.

Fun and community will be center stage as the series wraps up on May 8 with a Wishful Wednesday presented by VyStar Credit Union.
