BOWLING GREEN BALLPARK (Bowling Green, KY) – The Bowling Green Hot Rods, High-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, are excited to unveil the club’s 2021 schedule. The Hot Rods, who join the newly minted, 12-team, High-A East League, will play a 120-game schedule and host 60 contests at Bowling Green Ballpark over 10 home stands.
The season will begin on the road for the Hot Rods as they take on the Greenville Drive (Boston Red Sox) for the first time in 12 years. The Hot Rods return home to host their Home Opener on Tuesday, May 11th against the Asheville Tourists (Houston Astros). The Tourists will be in town for a six-game home stand (Tuesday-Sunday, May 16th) before Bowling Green hits the road for a 12-game road trip to Rome, GA against the Rome Braves (Atlanta Braves) and Asheville to close out the first month of the season.
“We are extremely excited to be hosting Hot Rods baseball back at Bowling Green Ballpark. We have all missed the fun of the ballpark and can’t wait to open our gates again. It will be at a higher level of baseball, new league, and new teams coming to Bowling Green for everyone to enjoy,” said Eric C. Leach, Hot Rods Chief Operating Officer and General Manager.
The schedule will look a bit different to most fans, with all teams on the road or at home for longer stretches than normal while all Mondays will be off days. As the season continues on, Bowling Green will host the Rome Braves, Hickory Crawdads (Texas Rangers), Aberdeen IronBirds (Baltimore Orioles), Winston-Salem Dash (Chicago White Sox), Greenville Drive, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Washington Nationals), and Greensboro Grasshoppers (Pittsburgh Pirates) who will be in town for the entire week of July 4th, capping off the series with Independence Day baseball at Bowling Green Ballpark that Sunday.
