Beginning on Tuesday, May 2, when the Barnstormers will entertain the York Revolution in the home opener, Lancaster will embark on a series of ceremonies to honor the 2022 championship squad.  The week will culminate with an all-out pennant party and ring ceremony on Friday evening, May 5 with the Lexington Legends as the visiting squad.

The series of pennant celebrations will be the first four of 66 home games for the Barnstormers in a 126-game season in 2023.  

Lancaster will begin its defense of the title on the road, visiting the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in a three-game series starting Friday, April 28, returning to the site of the club’s first round victory in the 2022 playoffs. 

The Barnstormers will play the division rival Long Island Ducks 22 times during the upcoming season, the most games against any opposing team.  One of the home games against Long Island will be a special Fourth of July celebration as the nation reaches its 247th birthday.  Lancaster will be at Gastonia on Memorial Day and at Long Island on Labor Day.
