FRIDAY LOWDOWN: The Crustaceans of Summer are Back

Oh boy! A quick perusal of your Friday Lowdown hints that Humboldt summer is officially here. Play ball, y’all

Yes, the Humboldt Crabs will take the field at the Arcata Ball Park Friday night for the first game of their 2018 season when they take on the pitiful Corvallis Knights. One team will emerge victorious The other team will take a long, sad trip back up the I-5. 

Details on how you can root for your hometown heroes — as well as oodles of other Friday options — in your Lowdown listings below. If you need a reminder of how great the Crabs experience is, take a trip down memory lane to a time when even Tom Green was mesmerized by the whimsy of it all in the clip below.
