By
May 26, 2011

(Eastlake, OH) - The Lake County Captains, the 2010 Midwest League Champions and Class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, return home for a 12-game home stand over ten days beginning Friday as the West Michigan Whitecaps return to town and the Kane County Cougars and Clinton Lumberkings make their only appearances at Classic Park this season.

It is also the first "Faith Night" of the season which includes a post-fireworks concert by the Shaun Easton Band and testimonies of faith from members of the Captains team.

Saturday is a Saturday Fireworks night presented by Monreal Funeral Home and Cremation Service. The Captains and Whitecaps will resume a game that was suspended on May 14 in the bottom of the fourth inning starting at 6 PM. The scheduled game for that date will follow and will be seven innings. Gates open at 5 PM.

Sunday is an Andrews Osborne Academy Family Fun Sunday and will feature a pre-game player autograph session, expanded concourse entertainment and activities, an enhanced Kids' Zone area with new inflatables and the opportunity for kids to run the bases after the game.

The first 1,500 fans on Sunday will receive a reusable Captains alternate logo sticker presented by Mentor Signs and Graphics. This is the second in a series of four reusable sticker giveaways this season featuring each of the Captains new team identity logos.

Racing Weekend will take place on Sunday and Monday as the Lake County Speedway will have exhibits, race cars and their drivers out at Classic Park. There is also special $15 ticket offer for fans who want to attend the Captains games during the day and then go to the Speedway in the evening.

Monday is Memorial Day and is Buck Day, presented by PNC, and will feature $1 Five Star Brand Hot Dogs, fries, chips, onion rings, popcorn, soda and beer. The Captains and Whitecaps will play a doubleheader beginning at 1 PM.

The home stand will continue on Tuesday with another Bark in the Park night, presented by Marc's Doggie Rewards, when fans can bring their canine friends to Classic Park. Dog owners can purchase $5 pooch passes, from which a portion of the proceeds will benefit Marc's Doggie Rewards. The Captains will offer $1 hot dogs on Tuesday nights to complete the dog theme.
