Ballpark Fun:
The RiverDogs wrapped up the holiday weekend by celebrating Carolina Day, honoring the 1776 Battle of Sullivan's Island and South Carolina's role in American history. Families packed The Joe for another MUSC Health Family Sunday, enjoying kid-friendly activities throughout the ballpark and a fun afternoon of baseball.
Midway through the game, the Red Arrows delivered a magnificent aerial display, roaring across the sky above The Joe in a trail of red, white, and blue smoke that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The celebration continued after the final out as fans stayed in their seats for a drone light show that lit up the sky above The Joe. The special display was a unique way to cap off the weekend, making for a memorable finish to Carolina Day at the ballpark.
