Fans are still invited to take part in our usual Sunday, post-game events like Run the Bases and Player Autographs before the fireworks. We also will have live music on the centerfield amphitheater between the end of the game up to the start of the Three Rivers Festival fireworks show at 10:00pm. Parkview Field is a great vantage point to watch the fireworks and we are excited to have a game that coincided with the Festival's finale."
