LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville Bats have released their schedule for the 2015 season. The 2015 season will mark both the franchise's 16th year of baseball at Louisville Slugger Field and 16th year as the Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.

Planned giveaways for 2014 include a commemorative Budweiser beer stein on Opening Night as well as several hats and bobbleheads. Season tickets and mini-plan packages will be available starting as low as $60.

The Bats' schedule will begin with Opening Night on Thursday, April 9 against Toledo to start a six-game opening homestand. Nine days later, fans will once again have a spectacular view of Thunder Over Louisville from Louisville Slugger Field on Saturday, April 18.

There will also be home games on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25 vs. Toledo), the night before Independence Day (Friday, July 3 vs. Columbus) and Labor Day (Monday, September 7 vs. Indianapolis).

For 11 Thursdays starting with Opening Night, the hottest spot in Louisville will be the Budweiser $1 beer happy hours on the Overlook Deck at Louisville Slugger Field. The Bats will also continue with postgame fireworks on 11 Fridays starting with April 10. Sundays will again be highlighted by Kids Run the Bases and the Inflatable KidsZone. Mondays will again feature baseball bingo and on Tuesdays $1 hot dogs and Pepsi products will be sold at concession stands.
