Washington Nationals Host Second Annual Stitch N' Pitch
The Washington Nationals will host fans who enjoy both baseball and the
needlearts for the second annual Stitch N' Pitch event on Friday, June 20 when
the team takes on the Texas Rangers at 7:10pm. Hundreds of fans will sit in the
stands and knit, crochet, needlepoint, cross-stitch and embroider as they root for a
Nationals victory. Fans interested in learning more about the needlearts may visit
demonstration tables located in the Conference Room Four on the Mezzanine
Level of Nationals Park. The National Needlearts Association will partner with
26 Major League Baseball teams for Stitch N' Pitch events this summer.
Tickets for Stitch N' Pitch may be purchased for $13 by visiting nationals.com
and selecting the group events page. Tickets are also available through the Mid-
Atlantic Needlearts Retail Association website, manra.net. The first 300 people to
purchase advance tickets to the event will receive a complimentary Nationals
Stitch N' Pitch gift bag filled with needlearts items donated from local stores.
Fans attending Friday's game are encouraged to participate in the Nationals fourth
annual Thanksgiving in June canned food drive to benefit the Capital Area Food
Bank. The team will collect non-perishable food items throughout the weekend
series with the Rangers.
