A fireworks show set to country music will follow Friday evening’s Los Angeles Dodgers-Houston Astros interleague game at Dodger Stadium for Country Music Night.
Fans will be invited onto the field to watch the show, which will take place before 11 p.m. and is subject to cancellation if the game lasts too long, like all of the Friday night fireworks shows at Dodger Stadium.
Multi-platinum album-selling country singer-songwriter Hunter Hayes will sing the national anthem.
The team is offering a Country Night ticket package, including a hat, which is available at Dodgers.com/Country.
It is also Cal State Los Angeles Night with a ticket package including a Dodger cap in the school colors of gold and black. It is available at Dodgers.com/CalStateLA.
Andre Ethier’s sons Dreson and Retton will throw first pitches in connection with his retirement ceremony.
Retired U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Luis Hernandez will be honored as the Military Hero of the Game.
Hernandez joined the Army in 1987 and attended infantry basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He served as an infantryman at Fort Richardson, Alaska, and an information technology specialist at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
Hernandez was deployed to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for 18 months as a network communications administrator. Hernandez began a four-year NATO assignment in the Netherlands in 2001.
Hernandez retired in 2007. He is now an information security officer for the Department of the Army at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
