BISMARCK, ND – The wait is over fans, baseball is back in Bismarck.

Tonight is Opening Night of the Inaugural Season of Bismarck Larks baseball.  The Larks will take the field at 7:35 p.m. at Bismarck Municipal Ballpark, Home of Dakota Community Bank and Trust Field, to kick off their season against the Eau Claire Express.  

Led by Field Manager Sean Repay from Lakeland University (Wisconsin), the Larks are ready to bring the excitement of America’s pastime back to the capital city.  Tonight’s game is loaded with promotions, giveaways, and lots of FUN!

OPENING NIGHT PROMOTIONS

The season is full of enticing promotions, but the first one is KFYR Opening Night and Post-Game Fireworks Show.  Stick around after the final out and help us celebrate a successful Opening Night with fireworks lighting up the Bismark night sky.  Before the game, the National Anthem will be sung by former Medora Musical host and the “Queen of the West” Emily Walter.  

Fireworks aren’t the only Opening Night promotion.  There will be a Magnet Schedule Giveaway so fans can stay updated when the Larks are on the road and at home.
