June 5 is Opening Day, and the Mohawk Valley Diamond Dawgs plan to start off their season with a bang.
They will be taking on Amsterdam Mohawks, their arch rivals at 7 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Field in Little Falls, and plan to celebrate their season opener with a fireworks display following the game. The fireworks extravaganza is sponsored by the Herkimer Diamond Mines and is just one of the many special events happening throughout the season.
