Let’s Play Ball
Jamestown Tarp Skunks 2022 Season
By Jessica Schultz

   Baseball is the traditional American past time. Heading to the stadium to see the local team play, nine innings and stadium hot dogs and nachos, it’s an iconic summer past time. And for 2022, Jamestown’s own Tarp Skunks are ready to play ball.

   They are less than two weeks from Opening Day and have released their promotional schedule for 2022. The Tarp Skunks are members of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League and will begin their season at home against the Olean Oilers on Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30pm. Prior to the start of the game, the team will host a free tailgate festival featuring live music by the local band For the People.

   The Tarp Skunks saw a huge increase in attendance over Jamestown’s past collegiate summer league teams and are expecting even larger crowds this season, now that things are returning to normal, with a schedule that is jam-packed with exciting theme nights and promotions.

   Back for this season are the popular $2 Nights featuring pop, hotdogs, and beer for just $2 each. Every Monday home game will be a $2 Night, excluding Monday, July 4th which will be the Independence Day Celebration.

   On Tuesday, June 14th, the Tarp Skunks will host School Kids Day, with a special start time of 11am. The Tarp Skunks are scheduling this game to attract students from local schools to attend the game on a field trip. Schools from Jamestown and Maple Grove School Districts are planning to attend, with tickets still available to any interested schools.

   Wednesday, June 29th will be Jamestown Community College Night. Jamestown Community College will be distributing tickets to their students, faculty, staff and alumni for this game and will be holding prize raffles during the game for all fans in attendance.

   There will be three fireworks nights in 2022, on Friday, June 24th, Sunday, July 3rd, and Friday July 22nd. All games with fireworks will begin at 7pm. June 24th will be Hello Summer Night, a Collaborative Children’s Solutions (CCS) night focused on celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer break. Fireworks on July 3rd are presented by Jamestown Mattress, and will kick off 4th of July celebrations. July 24th will be Christmas in July Night, another CCS night focused on raising money and toy donations for Toys for Tots.

   The first pitch for all games on Monday through Saturday has been moved up to 6:30pm this year, with the exception of fireworks nights, School Kids Day, and doubleheaders. Fireworks nights will feature a 7pm first pitch, and doubleheaders will begin at 5pm. All Sunday games will begin at 4pm.

   In the coming weeks, the Tarp Skunks will be releasing even more promotions. They are finalizing the details on at least one Community Buyout Night, which will feature free tickets to all fans courtesy of a local business. Be on the lookout for news on their website and social media pages.

   Single game tickets went on sale on Monday May 16th, starting at just $5 each. Season tickets packages are available now starting at just $99.

   With the addition of former New York-Penn League teams Niagara Falls, Batavia, and Auburn, the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League featured a league-record 17 teams in 2021. The Tarp Skunks were the Western Division Champions in 2021 and look to repeat that success in 2022. The full promotional schedule can be found at tarpskunks.com/2022-schedule.

    Make sure to grab your tickets, come on out to the stadium and “take yourself out” to the ballgame this summer.
