P-Nats Reschedule Star Wars: Episode I 20th Anniversary Night and Harry Potter Day for Weekend of May 25th/26th

Woodbridge, VA---Despite rainouts that washed out the Potomac Nationals' Celebrations of the 20^th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and Harry Potter Day this past weekend, the organization has rescheduled both events for the last weekend in May!
Saturday night's Star Wars Night will now be part of Potomac's game vs. the Frederick Keys (Baltimore Orioles) on Saturday, May 25^th, while Harry Potter Day will follow one day later on Sunday, May 26^th.

The Star Wars celebration will now join the Adam Eaton "Mighty Mouse" Bobblehead giveaway, presented by Northwest Federal Credit Union, on Saturday, May 25^th. The P-Nats will recognize the 20^th anniversary of Episode I - The Phantom Menace. P-Nats players and coaches will wear custom Star Wars themed jerseys, which will be auctioned off throughout the game. These autographed jerseys will be presented to the winning bidders at the conclusion of the game. After the game, the winning bidders will be able to take a picture with the player/coach that wore that jersey! The proceeds from the jersey auction will benefit Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. Proceeds from a raffle for a P-Nats autographed bat/lightsaber will also benefit Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic.
Throughout the course of Star Wars Night, fans will witness on-field lightsaber battles and pod racer contests. Fans can enter an on-field costume contest and enjoy a night full of the sights and sounds from Star Wars. In addition, all fans that show up in Star Wars attire will be eligible to purchase a $5 discounted ticket.

After the game, fans can participate in the tennis ball toss, presented by Dicks Sporting Goods, with a chance to win a cash prize if they can land a tennis ball in the Northwest Federal Credit Union cash bucket in the outfield As always, kids can run the bases after every Saturday night home game, presented by Glory Days Grill. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35pm, while gates are set to open at 5:00pm.
Harry Potter Day was also rained out this past weekend, but it has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 26^th. As the P-Nats will continue their series with the Keys, Northwest Federal Field at Pfitzner Stadium will turn back into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy for fans of all ages. Seating sections will be sorted into houses, with broom races, costume contests, wand-making stations, and more. Fans should be on the lookout for a hidden golden snitch at the ballpark, as whoever finds the golden snitch will receive a special P-Nats prize! All fans with a scar on their face (lightning bolt or otherwise) are eligible to purchase a discounted $5 ticket from the box office.
 
In addition to Harry Potter Day on Sunday, the P-Nats are proud to support our military and will wear special Military Appreciation jerseys for every Sunday home game, presented by Northwest Federal Credit Union. The jerseys will be auctioned off on August 25^th, with proceeds set to benefit the Women Veterans Interactive. It's also another Virginia529 Super Saver Sunday.
