MIDLAND, MI – With a new year comes renewed hope for the return of Loons Baseball at Dow Diamond. That time has finally arrived and the Great Lakes Loons are excited to officially release the 2021 season schedule.

“With nearly 18 months passing since Loons players last took the field at Dow Diamond, we are grateful to be ushering in Loons Baseball once again in 2021,” Loons Interim President & General Manager Mike Hayes said. “While this season may look different than in the past, our organization remains committed to providing a first-class service and entertainment experience to our guests.”

The 2021 season will feature a 120-game schedule, evenly split between home and away games. For player health and safety considerations, MLB has structured all matchups throughout the season to consist of a 6-game series format, with Mondays serving as an off-day for all 12 teams in the High-A Central League. This format will minimize player travel, and in addition, matchups will be weighted with teams in closer geographical proximity.

Opening Day is slated for Tuesday, May 4 against the Cincinnati Reds affiliate Dayton Dragons.

Weeknight games in May will once again start at 6:05 p.m., with weeknight games shifting to 7:05 p.m. following Memorial Day and continuing throughout the remainder of the season. Sundays will feature new game times of 1:05 p.m. all season long.

As for home matchups against in-state opponents:

· 12 games vs. the West Michigan Whitecaps, affiliate of the Detroit Tigers (June 1-6, July 27-August 21)

· 12 games vs. the Lansing Lugnuts, affiliate of the Oakland Athletics (July 6-11, August 17-22)

The ever-popular Fireworks Loontaculars, presented by Farm Bureau Insurance, will return with a 12-show fireworks series throughout the season.
