“We have pushed to make Saturday, July 16 an all-day event that would be appealing to all ages and we are very excited to partner with Clearview Federal Credit Union on this event that will additionally benefit the charitable efforts of The Heyward House,” said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “Between the half-dozen inflatables and former Wild Things’ players from Fennell Brothers Baseball providing baseball instruction, we look to create a memorable experience for the kids.”

Kids can bring their gloves into the stadium for the on-field instruction.
