The East Gate will open on Thursday at 5 p.m. for Happy Hour, featuring $1 hot dogs and $2 domestic draft beers from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. In addition, the first 5,000 fans will receive Rally Towels courtesy of Service Electric.
On Friday, gates will open at the normal time of 5:45 p.m. Fans will be treated to a playoff edition of Friday Night Fireworks.
After taking the 2017 IronRail Series from the RailRiders with an 11-7 advantage, the two North Division rivals will now battle in the first round of the playoffs for the second-consecutive year. 
 
The IronPigs won their final six games of the regular season to clinch the final playoff spot. After trailing Rochester by 4.0 games on Aug. 23, Lehigh Valley finished with a 9-3 record to secure the Wild Card.
As the Wild Card winner, the Pigs will host the North Division champion RailRiders in the first two games of a best-of-five series that now begins Thursday, Sept. 7, at Coca-Cola Park.
