Slammers Exhibition Schedule

The club has scheduled six exhibition games against Frontier League rivals and one game against the American Association's Gary RailCats. Two of the exhibition games will occur at Silver Cross Field. Fans will get the chance to check out the Slammers in action before the season officially begins. Admission to the home games is five dollars and free for season ticket holders. Seating is first come, first serve.

"Exhibition games are critical to our success because it's a chance for our players to get some work in a game setting and it gives our rookies a chance to earn a roster spot," said Slammers VP of Baseball Operations Ron Biga.
