The Doubledays will also bring a familiar face with them as State College Area High School graduate Nick Raquet returns home after being selected as the Nationals’ third-round draft choice this year.

Seats in the Pepsi Picnic Pavilion also come with free access to Ike’s Kids Zone in left field for kids 12 and under, as well as free ice cream sandwiches in the seventh inning.
The homestand concludes on Sunday with one of the best nights of the season as we pay homage to those men and women who have served and continue to serve our country on Military Appreciation Night, presented by Lion Country Kia. Fans can join the Spikes in a variety of tributes throughout the night, with military vehicles also on hand to see and touch.
In addition, fans can place their bids in a Patriotic Hat Auction benefiting Local Military Personnel presented by Lion Country Kia. The Spikes have autographed the special patriotic hats they wore on July 3, and each hat is up for bids to help those who have ensured our freedoms. After the game, the skies will light up with a Spike-tacular FIREWORKS show.
