Admission for the game will be $3 for adults and $1 for students K-12. As always, FHSU students get in FREE with a valid Tiger Card.
Concession specials include $1.50 drinks, hamburgers and hot dogs. There will also be a bounce house for all the young Tiger fans.
Heartland Building Center will be giving away limited edition t-shirts to the first 200 fans, so be sure to get to Larks Park early! Gates will open at 4 p.m.
The series will continue with game two at 1 p.m. Saturday before wrapping up Sunday at noon.
The Tigers hold a 106-83 lead in the all-time series with Washburn, dating back to 1966, the inaugural season of baseball at FHSU. The Ichabods (14-17, 8-13) currently sit in ninth in the MIAA standings.
