The two International Women’s teams will participate in a ceremonial first pitch, followed by the jersey swap. The pregame events will take place at Louisville Slugger Field at approximately 6:15 p.m.

The Bats are then hosting the two soccer/football clubs in suites to watch Thursday evening’s baseball game. Thursday's Bats game will be the two soccer/football clubs’ first-ever American sporting event as spectators.

“It is very important for us to build lasting relationships and really immerse ourselves in the community and culture of every city we play in," said Bianca Rech, FC Bayern Munich's Sporting Director of Women's Football. "To throw out the first pitch and take in America's pastime will be a wonderful experience for our players and we thank the Bats for making us feel so welcome."
