‘Star Wars Night’ at the DBAP Highlights Baseball Weekend

The International League-leading Durham Bulls, 18-9 on the season, finish out an eight-game homestand this weekend with three games in the newly-renovated Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

The action will get going Friday night as the Bulls host the Columbus Clippers, 11-13 on the season, for a 7:05 p.m. first pitch. After the game, there will be a fireworks display for fans to enjoy. In addition, the Diamond Cutters, the Bulls’ famous dancing grounds crew, will perform.

Saturday’s game will get underway at 5:05 p.m., but it’s Sunday’s event that has garnered national attention. To close out the homestand, the Bulls will put on a Star Wars Night at the DBAP at 5:05 p.m..

Fans will have the opportunity to take photos with their favorite Star Wars characters and be entertained with in-game features focusing on the “May the Fourth be with you” theme.
