After a six-game road trip, the 麻豆精选 Falcons return home this weekend as they welcome the expansion Kamloops NorthPaws to town.
This three-game series will be a big test for the Falcons, who sit tied for fifth in the North division with a 5-6 record. The NorthPaws are in first place at 8-5.
Besides the on-field product, the Falcons have a weekend of events planned for all three games.
On Friday night (June 17), fireworks will take to the sky after the inaugural game between the Falcons and the NorthPaws.
Saturday鈥檚 game is the first specialty jersey night of the season as the Falcons will wear orange 鈥楨very Child Matters鈥� jerseys. There will also be a pregame ceremony with the Westbank First Nation.
And if you don鈥檛 have a gift for Father鈥檚 day yet, take your Dad to Sunday鈥檚 game as dads get into the game at half-price.
Friday and Saturday鈥檚 first pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. while Sunday鈥檚 game will start at 6:05 p.m.
An advantage for the Falcons in this upcoming series is that the NorthPaws haven鈥檛 been good on the road to start the season. Kamloops is 7-1 at home and 1-4 on the road.
After a slow start offensively, the bats have been heating up for 麻豆精选 as they鈥檝e scored 21 runs over their last three games.
This is the only time this season the Falcons host the NorthPaws, but with the proximity of the teams, a new-found rivalry is sure to heat up. The Falcons go to Kamloops for a three-game series last in the season.
All three games this weekend are at Elks Stadium. For tickets, click here.
