Families and more fans making plans to join the Spikes on weekends are also in luck, as the Spikes will host a total of seven Friday games, eight Saturday games and seven Sunday games this season.
The Spikes will welcome each of their MLB Draft League opponents for multiple visits to Happy Valley in the 2022 season. The Trenton Thunder will come into Medlar Field for the second home series of the year June 5-7 before a return visit in the second half from August 1-3. The Frederick Keys will make a total of three journeys into Happy Valley, visiting June 9-11 and again from July 14-16 and August 25-27.
Familiar foes also fill the 2023 schedule as the West Virginia Black Bears, who won the 2022 MLB Draft League championship, visit Happy Valley for a pair of three-game sets June 20-22 and August 18-20. The Spikes will also host the Mahoning Valley Scrappers for three games from June 23-25, followed by a trio of games from July 7-9 and a pair of games July 29-30.
