Players in town for Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial

DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA, April 21, 2014 – The Epson Tour, the official Road to the LPGA, and the Fort Myers Miracle, the future stars of Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins, will meet on Wednesday, April 30 at Hammond Stadium when Epson Tour players make an appearance at the Miracle’s 7:05 game against the Bradenton Marauders.

Epson Tour players scheduled to attend the game include Big Break Florida star Sadena Parks and current dual status players with the LPGA and Epson Tour Brianna Do and Kim Kaufman.

The professional golfers will throw out a ceremonial first pitch and participate in on-field promotions throughout the game

“Our golfers are trying to reach the LPGA and the Miracle players are trying to reach the major leagues, so the opportunity to do some cross promotion makes perfect sense,” said Chief Business Officer Mike Nichols. “Our players are looking forward to cheering the Miracle to victory!”

The appearance by the Epson Tour coincides with Ladies Night at the Miracle game. Admission is free for women at every Wednesday home Miracle game. In addition, all women receive two complimentary drink vouchers.

“'The Florida State League and Minor League Baseball is where the stars of tomorrow, play today and we look forward to seeing some of the LPGA's future stars at the ballpark on April 30th,” said Senior Director of Business Development for the Miracle, John Kuhn. “Golf’s Epson Tour, like the Florida State League for baseball, is the proving grounds for those looking to make it to the big time.”
