The Harrisburg Senators come to Reading to face the Fightin Phils at FirstEnergy Stadium, with first pitch set for 5:15 PM. Both clubs play in the Double-A Eastern League, where Reading develops prospects for the Philadelphia Phillies and Harrisburg does the same for the Washington Nationals, so the rosters are full of players working toward the major leagues.

This matchup closes out the Fightin Phils home schedule for the season, capping a Labor Day weekend series between two Pennsylvania clubs that have met plenty of times over the years. Reading has leaned on its pitching and timely hitting against Harrisburg in recent meetings, and the Senators have shown they can swing back.

FirstEnergy Stadium has been a Reading landmark since 1950, and the ballpark keeps things moving with between-inning contests, mascots, a team store, and concession stands along the concourse. Parking at the stadium is free. Fans can watch players cross the concourse on their way to the field, which remains one of the more distinctive touches at the park.
