As part of the Patriotic Series presented by Science Applications International Corp (SAIC), service members, veterans, and their families were able to enjoy a free night of baseball courtesy of the Washington Nationals. And what a game to witness considering it was Bryce Harper's first time back in the park since leaving the Nationals to play for the Philadelphia Phillies. The game's opening ceremonies included a medley of each military branch song and a service member throwing out the first game pitch to Nationals pitcher, Sean Doolittle.
