Lakeland Flying Tigers Host a Dog-Friendly Baseball Game

By Allison Williams

Monday night, the Lakeland Flying Tigers Minor League Baseball Team invited guests and their fur friends out to a fun night of baseball against the Jupiter Hammerheads. The game was set to have the first pitch thrown at 6:30, but with a weather delay, the pooches had to sit tight until the storms passed.

This is Cinder. She loves baseball games.

Dog tickets were only $1 per pooch! The Flying Tigers always offer a special promotion for all home games. Monday’s game promotions were Bark in the Park and Endless $1 hotdogs. The $1 hotdogs could be picked up at the Little Caesars concession stand or the regular concession stand.

The scoring game was quiet until the third inning. Hammerhead’s Brian Miller hit a double to right field, as Aaron Knapp scored. Score 1-0 Hammerheads.

More scoring action was underway in the fifth inning. Joe Dunan reached second due to a throwing error by the Flying Tigers. Aaron Knapp scored again. Score 2-0 Hammerheads.
