RENO, Nev.- After a nine-day tour of the Pacific Northwest, the Reno Aces return home Saturday night for a four-game homestand that will include the club's inaugural bobblehead giveaway, an appearance by the ZOOperstars! and much more.
The Aces kick-off a four-game set with the Tacoma Rainiers, Triple-A Affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. The series opener will be highlighted by one of the most anticipated promotions of the season, the Mayor Bobblehead Showdown, presented by Silver Legacy, Eldorado and the Boys & Girls Club. 2,500 fans through the turnstiles will receive their choice of either a Reno Mayor Bob Cashell Bobblehead or a Sparks Mayor Geno Martini Bobblehead. There are 1,250 bobbleheads of each mayor, and the first mayor to run out, wins.
The fun rolls on with a Fox 11 Family Sunday, set for a 5:05 p.m. first pitch. The popular ZOOperstars! will be in attendance to entertain the crowd. Also, Sunday is Singles Night at Aces Ballpark. For $30, singles gain attendance to a mixer on the Plaza Overlook and two drink tickets. Additionally, four pre-selected participants will take part in the Aces Dating Game, which will match-up one single female fan and three single male fans for two innings each. In the seventh, the female fan will pick her favorite and sit with that gentleman for the rest of the ballgame.
On Monday, the Aces acknowledge fans following the club on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. Discounted tickets are available, and sections 101 & 102 will be reserved for social networking. Fans can visit the Aces on any of the three networks for details. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.
Finally on Tuesday, the series comes to a close with a matinee at Aces Ballpark. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m., the second-to-last mid-week afternoon game of the 2009 season.
