(KANNAPOLIS, N.C.) – Building off a memorable first season at Atrium Health Ballpark, Cannon Ballers fans are sure to “Have a Blast” with a full slate of exciting promotions during the 2022 season. Today the team provided a glimpse of the upcoming year headlined by fireworks shows, premium giveaways, theme nights, and plenty of on and off-the-field entertainment.

The Cannon Ballers will officially take the field and welcome Minor League Baseball back to Kannapolis on Friday, April 8 at 7:00 p.m. against the Fayetteville Woodpeckers. Fans entering the ballpark on Opening Night will be greeted with a Magnet Schedule giveaway, followed by a post-game Fireworks Extravaganza that will light up the night sky. The fun of Opening Weekend continues with another fireworks display following the game on Saturday, April 9, and then the series finale on Sunday, April 10 featuring Bark in the Park and post-game Kids Run the Bases. In total, the Cannon Ballers will treat fans to 14 fireworks shows this season, including an Independence Day celebration on July 4.

The 2022 schedule also includes a wide variety of premium giveaways for fans of all ages. Back by popular demand, Cannon Ballers-themed Hawaiian Shirts will be distributed to adults on Sunday, July 31.
