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.
