The Swing of the Quad Cities announced on Tuesday that the Saturday ballgames scheduled for August 11 and August 25 have been moved to 6:30 p.m. The nighttime games will allow fans to stay cool on hot August evenings while catching a breathtaking view of the lit-up Centennial Bridge high above the Mississippi River.
August 11 is Credit Union for Kids Night featuring a number of great promotions. Not only is it Autographed Baseball Night, where fans have the chance to pick up baseballs autographed by major and minor league stars, but Rally the Mascot will also be making an appearance to entertain the crowd. Make sure to stay late, as a dazzling fireworks display will follow the ballgame.
August 25 is Keep Scott County Beautiful Night, as an entire day full of activities to help improve the Quad Cities community will culminate with a celebration at John O'Donnell Stadium.
Both Saturday evening contests were previously scheduled for 2:00 p.m. starts.
