The Williamsport Crosscutters have released their promotional schedule for the 2026 season presented by UPMC.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field. Opened in 1926, the stadium ranks as the 9th oldest active ballpark in America. The Crosscutters will celebrate the 100th anniversary with special events, commemorative giveaways, and unique fan experiences honoring a century of baseball tradition.
The special season begins with Opening Night, presented by Carr’s Trailers and Supplies, on Tuesday, June 2 when the Cutters host the West Virginia Black Bears. The first 1,000 fans will receive a special baseball commemorating Bowman Field’s 100th Anniversary and the Cutters will wear special Williamsport Grays throwback jerseys that will be available to fans in an online auction.
Game times remain unchanged from last season with Monday-Saturday games starting at 6:35pm. Sundays feature a 4:05pm first pitch. The Cutters will also have a 1:05pm start on July 4. Main gates open 1 hour prior to game time.
A highlight of the schedule is the MLB Draft League International Series with the Canadian and Mexican Jr. National teams touring the league. Williamsport will host the Mexican team June 12-14 for Mexican Heritage Weekend as the Cutters rebrand to Los Cadejos in commemoration of this historic series. The weekend, presented by Modelo and 93.3 WBZD will feature Mexican music, food and drink.
In addition to wearing Williamsport Grays jerseys on opening night, the Cutters will wear a special heritage jersey for every Friday home game including the Tomahawks (June 26 & August 28), Potato Capers (July 10 & August 14) and Grays (July 17).
