Phillies announce fireworks nights
Every fireworks show, with the exception of Wednesday, July 2 and Sunday, August 17, will occur on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The July 2 show, one of eight sponsored by Carpenter Technology, will have a patriotic theme. The August 17 fireworks are part of the team's annual Harley Night which also includes a black game cap giveaway for the first 2,500 fans 18 and older, plus a Harley-Davidson bike raffle to benefit MDA, all thanks to Classic Harley-Davidson.
Saturday, April 26 is the lone April show on the schedule.
Beginning in May, every Friday and Saturday game will feature Fireworks. Come June, the remaining six Thursday games are an AT&T Thursday Night Fireworks show.
Each fireworks night at the ballpark, except July 2, also features live music in the Classic Café before and often times after each game.
The R-Phils fireworks shows, annually one of the team's most popular promotions, are professionally done by International Fireworks of Douglasville, PA.

Tim Kennelly knocked in the R-Phils only other run and five other players logged a hit each, including Alan Robbins who scored a run. Antonio Bastardo led the way on the mound, giving up no runs on four hits over three innings while recording a walk and three strikeouts. The Reading club is 4-1-1 this spring. Updates from spring training on all four Phillies full season teams can be found in the "Press Box" section of readingphillies.com.
