Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, NY- <\/strong>The Batavia Muckdogs and CAN-USA Sports Ownership are back for their second season in the PGCBL and are incredibly excited to announce plans for the upcoming summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 PGCBL schedule has been released with Opening Day in Elmira on June 3rd and the home opener at Dwyer Stadium the following night with postgame fireworks. If you have not bought season tickets that include admission to 30 regular-season home games, make sure to get them by calling ______. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to playing teams in the West Divison, the Muckdogs will incorporate new opponents from the East division like the Oneonta Outlaws and Watertown Rapids. Batavia will have exhibition games with the Cortland Crush of the NYCBL and the Capital City Reds from Ottawa, Ontario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming weeks, be on the lookout for our 2022 promotional schedule that already includes Batavia Blue Devils Night on Saturday, June 18th<\/sup>, and STOP DWI night on Thursday, July 14th<\/sup>. Be sure to check out our social media pages for more updates and call the office if you are interested in booking a night at Dwyer Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also like to announce the signing of eight players to the 2022 roster. Six players are returners from last season, including head coach Joe \u201cSkip\u201d Martinez. They include ace starting pitcher Julian Pichardo, catcher Brice Mortillaro, slugger Abner Benitez, first basemen Daniel Burroway, sidearmer AJ Winger, and dual pitcher\/shortstop Trey Bacon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia has also signed two local high school products to play this upcoming season. Gavin Schrader is an outfield\/pitching prospect at Notre Dame High School who committed to play at Niagara University after his senior season. Batavia High School catcher Vincent Grazioplene will also join the Muckdogs as he prepares to play collegiately at Erie Community College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an organization, we are so thankful to bring back fan favorites from a year ago. They feel like they have unfinished business the way last year ended and wanted to build off such a successful rookie season in the league,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cTo also have a new crop of local guys this summer was important for us to do for a tight-knit community like Batavia. Gavin and Vincent will be huge additions to the roster, and I hope the fans will rally around them like how they did for Jerry Reinhart and Tyler Prospero.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, CAN-USA Sports & Dwyer Stadium will be hosting multiple events throughout the spring and fall months. All varsity baseball games for Batavia and Notre Dame High Schools will be exclusively hosted at Dwyer Stadium. Following the PGCBL season, Dwyer will host the Western New York Alzheimer\u2019s Association annual walk for the second year on October 1st. The Batavia Muckdogs will host another Trick or Treat day on Saturday, October 22nd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwyer will also be the host to two concerts for the first time! Margaritaville will come to Dwyer Stadium on Saturday, August 20th as a Parrothead Jimmy Buffett Cover Band will play at the stadium with live music, drinks, food, & fun!  Before the school year starts, Zac Brown Tribute Band (ZBTB) will play Dwyer Stadium as one of their end-of-summer shows on September 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season is only a few months away, and make sure to get in on all of the action for the best season in Batavia baseball history!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
