Gigantic Reasons to Spend this Massive Weekend with the Biscuits
The Biscuits return home to Montgomery for a MASSIVE weekend beginning Thursday after a long 10-game road trip. Make your plans now for what will be enormous fun!
1. The Biscuits are Hot!
The Biscuits are hot and we're not just talking about the one's for sale at the Biscuit Cart. Currently battling for the top of the standings in the North Division, the Biscuits' pitching and bats have been sizzling. Monday night, the Biscuits made the history books when pitchers, Steve Ascher, Jared Mortensen, Jordan Harrison and Kyle Winkler threw for the first ever combined no-hitter in team history.
The talent is loaded in Montgomery with 9 of the Tampa Bay Rays top-30 prospects filling the roster including the newest arrival, Rays number 2 prospect, right-handed pitcher Brent Honeywell. Rays top-pitching prospect, Taylor Guerrieri, went 5-0 in June and is tied for second in wins with 8, and top-pitching prospect Chih-Wei Hu has the fourth best ERA in the league at 2.51. The Rays number 3 prospect, Willy Adames, leads the Southern League in runs and the Biscuits lead the league in doubles, home runs, total bases and stolen bases. The Biscuits will look to continue their rise this weekend as they battle it out against the Tennessee Smokies, the AA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
2. Celebrate the greatest television comedy of the century Thursday!
Put on your Urban Sombrero and button up your Puffy Shirt because we are celebrating the biggest television comedy to ever hit the airwaves with Seinfeld Night on Thursday! It's also a Thirsty Thursday Pub Crawl with drink specials every inning and $2 beer, water, soda and pretzel specials all night!
