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. Members of the Tortugas' exclusive 60-and-older club receive a free drink, discounted Michelob Ultra, and a reserved ticket for every Tuesday night home game. It will be another Cancer Awareness Night at the ballpark presented by Radiology Imaging Centers. Daytona players and coaches will don special pink-tinted uniforms that highlight many local cancer survivors.

Fun and community will be center stage as the series wraps up on May 8 with a Wishful Wednesday presented by VyStar Credit Union. Each Wednesday home game, the Tortugas celebrate, recognize, and help raise awareness and funds for local charities around Volusia County. Bring your four-legged furry friends for a "nine-inning vacation" of their own for a Bark in the Park Night presented by NextHome at the Beach.
