The Marine Corps will have a recruiting table on hand for fans to learn more about their mission. Five Marines-Sergeant Mark W. Rachow and Staff Sergeants William A. Blakes, Jr., Brian E. Erdman, Isaiah J. Kramer, Kencell M. Wesley-will provide an Honor Guard, while a collection of men and women will take the Oath of Enlistment on the field at BB&T Ballpark after the first inning.
In addition, various military trucks and equipment will be displayed on the concourse, and several Wounded Warrior members will take the field with the Dash's starting lineup.
Fans are encouraged to make a donation to Toys for Tots at any gate before entering the stadium for Saturday's game. All those who donate two or more toys or $10+ in cash will receive their choice of an NCAA-branded football or a limited-edition Hess Truck.
The Dash return to BB&T Ballpark on Tuesday for the start of a three-game series with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the High-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. For tickets to this set, which includes a Lowes Foods Thirsty Thursday on May 11, call the Dash at (336) 714-2287 or visit wsdash.com.
