Swing In To Summer Series 2026  3

Swing into Summer
Friday, June 12, 2026  | 7:10 PM First Pitch | Progressive Field

Join fellow alumni and friends for Swing into Summer with the Cleveland Guardians – an evening of baseball, fireworks, and Otterbein Cardinal connections at Progressive Field. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m., but make plans with Cardinal friends to come early and enjoy the Pregame in the District featuring discounted domestic cans and food two hours before the Guardians take on the Detroit Tigers.

We have a special ticket block near the Blue Moon Terrace Garden, a great place to socialize while watching the game. Otterbein staff will be in the Blue Moon Terrace Garden from 6:00 p.m. until first pitch with giveaways (first come first served). 

Wait…there’s more! Stick around after the game for a spectacular fireworks show to cap off a memorable summer evening. Reconnect with classmates, enjoy a night at the ballpark, and and swing into summer with Otterbein alumni and friends in Cleveland!

Purchase your tickets today, and Otterbein will transfer your tickets the week of the game. Tickets will be mobile only and accessed on your MLB Ballpark App.
