LAKEWOOD, NJ - As part of the recently released BlueClaws Promotional Schedule, the team announced that they will hold 17 fireworks shows in 2013, the most in franchise history.

After the first Saturday home game in June (1st), July (13th) and August (10th), there will be a post-game fireworks show.
