Civil War Night at the Ballpark

7 p.m. “The Portland Sea Dogs have partnered with the

Pejepscot Historical Society and MPBN to host Civil War Night at the Ballpark on Wednesday, July 3 at 7 p.m. when the Sea Dogs host the Trenton Thunder (Yankees) at Hadlock Field. The night is to pay tribute to Maine’s rich civil war history on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. ‘Joshua L. Chamberlain’ will be throwing out the ceremonial first-pitch. Civil War re-enactors from the 3rd Maine Regiment and the 15th Alabama will be present at the ballpark. Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry is a nonprofit educational and living history organization dedicated to preserving the memory of Maine’s role in the American Civil War. Through living history events, battle reenactments, and educational presentations they work to teach others about what life was like for Maine soldiers and civilians during the years 1861-1865. They portray Company A of the 3rd Maine, a regiment recruited early in the War from several communities of Maine’s Kennebec River Valley. The regiment was therefore known as the ‘Kennebec Regiment.’ Company A was formed from a Bath, Maine militia unit called the Bath City Grays, which mustered into federal service on June 4, 1861. The Maine Rebels are a reenacting group that portrays the 15th Alabama Infantry, Company G, with most of its members in Maine. The 15th Alabama is the regiment that fought the 20th Maine Infantry on the slopes of Little Round Top in the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The 15th Alabama’s war record is very distinguished and they saw service at many of the significant battles of the war. Chamberlain Ale brewed by Shipyard Brewing will be available for sale at the Shipyard Grille located on the third base side of the stadium. Throughout the game will be Civil War trivia with prizes provided by the Pejepscot Historical Society. MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz will be on hand to lead the Sea Dog crowd through the seventh inning stretch with Take Me Out to the Ballgame over the stadium loudspeakers. Following the game, MPBN will be showing the ‘Sixteenth Maine at Gettysburg,’ a new documentary revealing the story of Maine’s 16th Volunteer Infantry Regiment, on the stadium video board.” 879-9500 or online at www.seadogs.com.
