I will be attending tonights game courtesy of one of SporTech’s ace reporters. Got some sweet infield box seats. I will have some great pictures to post in a recap of the game. Meanwhile all you Marlin fans should tune into the game tonight on FSN and root for our Fish. We can still knock the Foolies out of the playoffs.
