The Fort Myers Miracle, winner of the 2018 Florida State League championship, will return to Hammond Stadium in April to kick off a two-night celebration with baseball fans.
On April 4 and 5, fans will be treated to giveaways, concession deals, family-friendly entertainment and a game-day experience among the best in minor league baseball.
“Last year, more than 9,500 fans attended our first two games, and we hope to surpass 10,000 during this year’s Opening Nights celebration,” said Chris Peters, president and general manager of the Fort Myers Miracle. “Every one of our players said the fan support last year helped them win the championship, so we wanted to start this season by celebrating with the best fans in baseball.”
The Miracle will open the season with a two-game homestand against the Charlotte Stone Crabs, which the Miracle edged out for the final playoff spot on the last game of the regular season in 2018. Both games begin at 6:30 p.m. at Hammond Stadium.
