Ever dreamed about playing baseball with the Cullens, just like in Twilight? On July 4th in Portland, you’ll be able to watch members of the New Moon cast up close and personal as they compete in a baseball game, and fans will also have a chance to compete on the field against crew earlier in the day.

Fans will compete against each other and the crew during the first half of the day. The fan game will be followed by Vampire Baseball™ featuring cast and crew from the movie Twilight which was filmed in the Portland area. Actors Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Edi Gathegi, Rachelle Levefre, Solomon Trimble, Michael Welch, Ayanna Berkshire, Alex Meraz, Christian Serratos, Kiowa Gordon, and Catherine Grimme will all be present to participate in the festivities. PGE Park, a professional baseball stadium and home of the Portland Beavers, has been reserved for their exclusive use and fans will cheer on their favorite teams from the Grand Stand and have the opportunity to take as many pictures (no video allowed) as they like when cast and crew take to the field.

More info can be found at the official site, and tickets go on sale tomorrow at Ticketmaster. Check out the rest of the press release after the jump.
