COMSTOCK PARK, MI (WHTC) – Tonight’s season opener for the West Michigan Whitecaps has been postponed till Friday, April 7, so you’ll have to wait to try the new Beer Cheese Poutine or the Game of Cones food cart.
Sure we go the the ballpark to watch the game, but the food and fun the Whitecaps provide is second to none. Due to the inclement weather and forecast of rain, cold and wind, the decision was made to make up the game as part of a doubleheader this Friday beginning at 5:00 p.m. Friday’s twin bill will consist of two seven-inning games with a 30-minute break in between.
Tickets for Thursday’s game can be exchanged for any home game throughout the 2017 season at the Fifth Third Ballpark Box Office, while tickets to Friday’s contest can be used to watch both games of the doubleheader.
Gates for the “New Opening Day” will open at 4:00 p.m. RHP Kyle Funkhouser will pitch for the Whitecaps against RHP Duncan Robinson in Friday’s opener. Friday’s games will include many of the same festivities. Alpine Hats will be given away to the first 1,200 fans presented by Fifth Third Bank, a post-game Family Fare fireworks show, Founder’s KBS will be on tap and fans will have an opportunity each inning of the game to win a weekend getaway to Traverse City.
