The Carolina Mudcats in Zebulon has added Pokemon Go themed events to its remaining schedule of home games. It began last week and will continue at every Tuesday game, including this week, Tuesday, July 19, through the end of the season.

Here's how the Gotta Catch 'Em All events work, according to a press release: "The all-new Gotta Catch 'Em All Nights will feature an in-game fan contest including a prize pack to the fan who captures the Pokémon with the highest listed combat power (CP) level during a game at Five County Stadium. The prize pack will feature two tickets to a future game and Mudcats souvenir items including a Mudcats Snow Globe and Camouflage Hat."

The Mudcats also will offer discounted $8 tickets to fans who attend Gotta Catch 'Em All Nights while dressed as a Pokémon character or wearing a Pokémon shirt or other Pokémon attire during the #TrendingTuesday, Gotta Catch 'Em All Nights.

Five County Stadium is currently home to two Poké Stops. Several lure modules will be placed at Five County Stadium to help attract Pokémon and make the in-game contest more fun for fans. To participate, fans must show their highest CP level Pokémon caught at Five County Stadium to the customer service desk by 8:30 p.m. on the Gotta Catch 'Em All Nights.

Tuesday's game against the Frederick Keys is at 10:30 a.m. There also will be water activities through the game. Tickets start at $8 for kids and $10 for adults.
