The Williamsport Crosscutters have released their promotional schedule for the 2022 season presented by UPMC. The upcoming season will feature 40 home games, more than ever before, along with the debut of a new $700,000 video board at Muncy Bank Ballpark.
The season opens Thursday, June 2 when the Cutters host the State College Spikes at 6:35pm. The Crosscutters previously announced new game times for the upcoming season with all Monday-Saturday games starting at 6:35pm. Sunday’s feature a 4:05pm first pitch with the exception of a 6:05pm start on June 12. Main gates open 1 hour prior to game time.
A highlight of the promo slate occurs on August 31, when the Crosscutters commemorate the 35th anniversary of Dave Bresnahan’s Great Potato Caper. Bresnahan created baseball history using a POTATO in a trick play for the Williamsport Bills in 1987, leading to worldwide publicity that continues to this day. To celebrate, the Williamsport Crosscutters will be rebranding to the Great Potato Capers for the August 31 game.
The first 1,000 fans attending the game will receive a limited-edition “Potato Ball”. Special Great Potato Caper jerseys, all featuring Bresnahan’s name, will be available to fans in an online auction. Exclusive Great Potato Caper merchandise is currently available online at crosscutters.com.
