LAKE ELSINORE, CA - The Lake Elsinore Storm invite fans of all ages to the 9^th annual Sip N' Swing preseason party on Sunday, March 15 at The Diamond in Lake Elsinore. Gates will be open from 11am to 3pm and parking and admission are free.

Headlining the event is the opportunity for guests to be a part of the season's first batting practice on the field. Behind-the-scenes tours of the stadium will give Storm faithful an inside look at the clubhouse, home dugout, press box and luxury suites. Storm mascot Thunder will be on hand for photos and fun, and fans will have the chance to take home prizes (including a VIP Package) and giveaways throughout the party. The Storm FunZone will be open for kids 12 & under and the Souvenir Store will feature this season's newest Storm merchandise.

New menu items will be served in the Diamond Club and the concession stand will offer ballpark favorites. The right field picnic area will once again be transformed into a Beer and Sausage Fest, featuring juicy brats and local brews for those "of age."

Guests in attendance will have the chance to purchase their favorite seats for the best games and promotions of the season, as individual game tickets will be made available for those in attendance before going public the following day. The stadium concourse will feature vendors, local non-profit groups and the Storm Booster Club.

"Sip N' Swing is always a special event for us and our extended fan base," team General Manager Raj Narayanan said. "Storm fans get to take the field before the players do, and it gets everyone excited for baseball season. Plus, who doesn't love a Beer and Sausage Fest?"
