Mudcats 2016 Season Schedule
ZEBULON, NC - The Carolina Mudcats, the Class A Advanced affiliate of the Atlanta Braves and member of the historic Carolina League, announce today the preliminary schedule for the upcoming 2016 Carolina League season.
Highlights of the 2016 schedule include home games during Memorial Day weekend, the first half finale on Father's Day and the season finale on Labor Day. It also includes an eight game homestand surrounding Independence Day, which will feature several nights of post game fireworks at Five County Stadium.
The Independence Day homestand will begin on June 30 with game one of a four game series with the Lynchburg Hillcats and conclude with the finale of a four game series with the Salem Red Sox on July 7.
The 2016 season will begin on April 7 as the Mudcats, for the first time in their Carolina League era, open on the road in Salem against the Red Sox. Carolina's home opener, meanwhile, is scheduled for Thursday, April 14 against Myrtle Beach at Five County Stadium.
The opening night game on April 7 in Salem will be the first of 18 games against the Red Sox in 2016 and the home opener on April 14 with the Pelicans will be the first of 28 scheduled games with Myrtle Beach. Those 28 games versus the Pelicans will be the most for the Mudcats against a Carolina League opponent in 2016.
The 2016 schedule will also include 25 games versus Lynchburg, 20 against Winston-Salem, 20 with Wilmington, 15 with Frederick and 14 against Potomac. The 2016 season will be split between 66 games against Carolina's rivals in the Southern Division and 74 against the Northern Division.
Specific game times, events and promotions will be announced at a later date.
