Sanford Spinners Home Opener - Presented by Cornerstone K9, Featuring Debut of Mickey the Bat Dog

The Sanford Spinners will open their 2026 season at home on June 5, with Opening Night presented by Cornerstone K9, setting the stage for an exciting start to the summer at the ballpark.

Following the recent announcement of Cornerstone K9’s return as the team’s Official Uniform Sponsor, this partnership will take center stage on Opening Night. Cornerstone K9 will have a strong presence throughout the ballpark, bringing trainers, dogs, and interactive elements that reflect their deep connection to the Spinners organization and the Sanford community.

The night will also mark the highly anticipated debut of Mickey the Bat Dog, who is set to carry on the tradition of in game entertainment that fans have come to love. Mickey steps into a big role, but one that has become a signature part of the Spinners experience.

As Mickey makes his debut, the organization also recognizes and thanks Murphy the Bat Dog for his impact over the past seasons. Murphy quickly became a fan favorite, delivering memorable moments and helping create a unique ballpark atmosphere. His recent call up to perform on a larger stage with the Winston-Salem Dash is a testament to his talent, and the Spinners wish him continued success in this next chapter.

Opening Night is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events of the season, combining high level collegiate baseball with fan focused entertainment and strong community partnerships. With Cornerstone K9 presenting the game and leading the night’s activities, June 5 will highlight the energy and experience that define Spinners baseball.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early, take in the pregame atmosphere, and be part of a new season getting underway in Sanford.
