(Staten Island, New York) – The Staten Island FerryHawks are scheduled to return to SIUH Community Park this week for a home series against the High Point Rockers, giving the club a chance to reset in front of its own fans.
The matchup is a useful spot for the FerryHawks to build energy around Wally Backman’s leadership and the local baseball audience on Staten Island. Home series in July matter because they give the team a chance to turn summer crowds into real momentum.
High Point is usually a demanding Atlantic League opponent, so Staten Island will need clean defense, aggressive baserunning and enough early offense to avoid chasing games late. Those are the basics that can turn a long series into a statement.
For the FerryHawks, the next few nights are about more than one opponent. They are about showing progress at home, giving fans a reason to keep coming back and making Staten Island feel like a tough stop for the rest of the league.
