This was Duluth Night at the G-Braves, and I attended with my daughter Tracy and her boyfriend Bryan. They played the Tennis Ball Toss after the game and the fireworks. They landed a ball in a swimming pool at third base and won two tickets to a future game of their choice. It was a beautiful evening, and the G-Braves got lots of hits.
