Medlar Field at Lubrano Park will once again go to the dogs on Thursday evening as fans are invited to bring their favorite four-legged friends out to the State College Spikes second "Bark in the Park" Night of the season, presented by Metzger Animal Hospital and NEWSRADIO 103 WRSC.

The Spikes will face the Jamestown Jammers (Miami Marlins) at 7:05 p.m., with gates opening at 6 p.m. for the general public. Fans will be able to enjoy several dog-related promotions and activities throughout the evening, including dog-themed in-game entertainment and music before and during the game.

The first 500 dog owners who come through "Gate G" on the Main Ticket Plaza will also receive a free Dog Koozie or Plush Dog courtesy of Aaron's.
