June 4, 2017

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

FREDERICK, MD -The Frederick Keys return to Nymeo Field on Sunday night to begin a four-game series against the Potomac Nationals. This features the second Meet the Team Event of the Year and concludes with STEM Day on Tuesday morning. For tickets fans can contact the Keys at 301-815-9939 or visit frederickkeys.com.

First pitch on Sunday is at 6:00 p.m and gates open one hour prior. When fans arrive they can head down to the field for the Keys second Meet the Team Event of the year. From 5-5:30 Keys players and coaches will be meeting fans and signing autographs. During this time fans can also enjoy a catch in the outfield as part of Sunday Funday presented by Chili’s.

Following the game there will be Luke Bryan fireworks presented by the Alzheimer’s Association, Somerford House and Heartfields Assisted Living at Frederick. It is also Alzheimer’s Awareness Night as we will be spreading awareness about the disease and other dementias.

On Monday, the Keys and P-Nats play a doubleheader with first pitch scheduled for 5:00 p.m and gates opening at four o’clock. Both games will be seven innings. It is Strike Out Stroke Night sponsored by Frederick Memorial Hospital, as the Keys and FMH will spread awareness about signs of strokes and how to prevent them.

The short homestand concludes on Tuesday with STEM Day at 11:00 a.m sponsored by AstraZeneca. A fieldtrip for students of Frederick County Schools, local businesses and non-profits will be on hand to educate students about science, technology, engineering and math and discuss their careers in the STEM sector. Fans that come out can also enjoy a Guaranteed Win Tuesday sponsored by WFRE & WFMD. Should the Keys lose, fans can exchange their ticket at the box office for tickets to a future Keys game.
