A presentation of colors will be held ahead of the singing of the national anthem, as well as a swear-in ceremony that will feature approximately 20 recruiters and 30 soldiers with their families. More information regarding Military Appreciation Day will be unveiled soon.
The Bats return from the All-Star break with a three-game series against the St. Paul Saints on Friday night, July 18 at 7:05 p.m. at Louisville Slugger Field.
