Light saber giveaway on Star Wars Night
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (June 22, 2016) - There's been an awakening. Have you felt it?
The Kannapolis Intimidators open the Second Half of the 2016 season at home with a seven-game home stand June 23-29 featuring Star Wars Night on Saturday, June 25, with special Star Wars themed jerseys, a light saber giveaway for the first 100 kids, character appearances, and post-game fireworks set to the iconic Star Wars soundtrack. The Intimidators are scheduled to face the Delmarva Shorebirds (Baltimore Orioles) for four games June 23-26 following by a three-game set against the Rome Braves (Atlanta Braves) from June 27-29.
By using the garbage compactors on the detention level, the Intimidators have crammed several fan-favorite promotions into this week's games.
