Homestand Highlights (April 4-8)

MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds return to AutoZone Park tomorrow to kick off the 2019 season with a five-game homestand against the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), running through Monday.
The last time fans saw the Redbirds in Pacific Coast League action, they clinched their second-straight league championship with a 5-0 win over the Fresno Grzzlies on Sept. 15, 2018.
The series is the debut of new Redbirds manager Ben Johnson, a Memphis native who takes the top step of the AutoZone Park home dugout for the first time as skipper after spending last season in the Tampa Bay organization.
Tomorrow's Opening Night includes a pregame Players to the Line ceremony, plus the raising of the 2018 PCL Championship flag. The first 2,500 fans when gates open tomorrow night will receive a 2019 Redbirds schedule magnet, presented by Southern College of Optometry.
Tomorrow is also the first Throwback Thursday, presented by Polk's Meat Products, featuring throwback concession pricing of $2 beers and $1 Polk's hot dogs.
Saturday is the first Terminix Saturday Fireworks Show of the season, with fans able to stick around after the game for a fantastic fireworks show launched up-close and personal from center field.
