The Columbia Blowfish Baseball Club is entering it's 4th annual Fort Jackson Military Appreciation Night. Over 3,000 soldiers from Fort Jackson are in attendance to enjoy Blowfish Baseball.

They then are dismissed to enjoy the rest of Capital City Stadium and the game. There are several military-themed promotions and activities the soldiers participate in during the game. At the conclusion of the game, all branches of the military are recognized followed by a fireworks display.
