Scrappers' opening night at Eastwood Field is here again for 27th season
NILES, Ohio (WKBN) – Wednesday is opening night at Eastwood Field — the Mahoning Valley Scrappers are back in action and no one is more excited than Scrappy himself.
The first pitch against State College is at 7:05 p.m. but get there early for a live pregame performance by The Suns of Beaches band.
The first 1,000 adults will get a free Hawaiian shirt.
It's also Military Appreciation Night — get two free upper box seat tickets with a valid military ID at the box office.
After the game, there will be fireworks.
Tuesday night was Scrapper Fest at the Eastwood Mall — a time to get fans excited for the 27th season.
Former Major Leaguer and second-year manager Quinton McCracken addressed the crowd, outlining the kind of team he'll be leading.
'We're doubling down but as far as excitement pertaining to this year's team, I mean, we've got a lot of good athletes, we got a lot of live bodies, strong kids that are looking to go out and make a name for themselves,' he said.
On Thursday, you can get in the game for just $1 — plus, $1 hot dogs.
