Suns season about to start

PITTSFIELD – The sun is about to rise on the summer baseball season in The Berkshires.

The Suns will begin their 2013 campaign when they host the Torrington Titans on June 6 at 7 p.m.  Gates will open an hour prior to first pitch, with fireworks after the game.

The Suns will play 27 home games at Wahconah Park and will serve as host for the second annual FCBL All-Star Game.

As they demonstrated in last year’s inaugural season, the Suns’ brand of affordable family entertainment with a distinctive flair remains the primary focus of each Suns event and should delight fans of Pittsfield and The Berkshires once again.

“As we look to build on the success of our first year, we have many exciting ideas and promotions for our fans that we will roll out in the near future,” said Pittsfield Suns General Manager Kevin McGuire. “Rest assured, the sights and sounds, excitement and energy that you experienced in Wahconah Park last year will only get better in 2013. “

The Suns have also recently announced that Wahconah Park has been selected to host the 2013 FCBL All-Star game on July 25.

“We are thrilled to be hosting the 2013 FCBL All-Star Game,” McGuire said.  “We pushed very hard to bring the All-Star Game to Pittsfield in our continued efforts to deliver consistent high quality baseball to The Berkshires.  With all of the league’s top talent descending on Pittsfield for the game and surrounding activities, I’m confident this will be one of this summer’s signature events.“

In addition to fireworks following opening night and the all-star game, Wahconah Park will display fireworks for the fans five more times this season as well. Those shows will take place on June 14, July 4 and 19, and Aug. 2 and 8.
