Before the game, NASCAR's Joanna Long from Pensacola, threw out the ceremonial first pitch after she was recognized with her own personal jersey. Two families competed in an on-field promotion during the game with the winner earning a trip to watch the Reds this summer thanks to Pensacola International Airport and US Airways. Then, following the game and a marriage proposal on the field, fans enjoyed another stunning fireworks show courtesy of Highpoint Hotel Corporation.

As for the game, the Wahoos remain just two games out of first place despite a 6-4 loss to the Lookouts. Billy Hamilton stole another base, his 136th of the season. He is now just nine steals shy of the all-time single-season record.
