The Long Island Ducks continue their homestand tonight when they open a three-game weekend series against the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars. Right-hander Justin Alintoff gets the start for the Ducks against Flying Boxcars lefty Anthony Imhoff.

Game time is slated for 6:35 p.m., with the Fairfield Properties Ballpark gates opening at 5:35 (5:20 for full season ticket holders). It’s Tribute to LI Ducks Hockey Night, presented by the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame. The Ducks will recognize the Long Island Ducks hockey franchise that played in the Eastern Hockey League from 1959 to 1973 and played their home games at the Long Island Arena in Commack. In addition, the Ducks will welcome Buzz Deschamps to the ballpark to take part in the festivities and throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to game time.

Ducks players and coaches will be wearing commemorative jerseys as well, designed to replicate those worn by the Ducks hockey team. Fans can bid on these game-worn jerseys from Friday, August 15, at 6:35 p.m. through Wednesday, August 27, at 1:00 p.m. via the LiveSource mobile app or by clicking below.

It’s a Tap Room Friday as well! Ducks staff members will be handing out coupons with a special offer to save $15 when spending $50 or more (dine-in) and one (1) free appetizer when spending $30 or more (delivery/pick-up) from The Tap Room to enjoy at any of their nine Long Island locations as fans exit the ballpark.
