Edit, 12:15: Checking if there was a link on the Sound Tigers’ website, noticed the banner with their six guaranteed home dates for next season. Most notably, the home opener is Oct. 15. All six are Saturdays: Nov. 5, Dec. 3, Jan. 14, Feb. 11 and March 11. Second year in a row they’ve announced, so to speak, their home opener that way.
