Olympic Night - Friday, June 29

Firefighter Day - Sunday, July 1
It's going to be a hot one at Raley Field as we honor our local firefighters with fire engine displays and firefighters in uniform. Cheer on your favorite firefighter and stay after the game as these firefighters take the field in their own baseball game!
