Nationals host U.S. Marine Corps Day at Nationals Park

It was U.S. Marine Corps Day on Tuesday night at Nationals Park as Washington hosted the New York Mets in the first game of a three-opponent homestand.

The highlight of the pre-game events featured a flyover from the V-22 Ospreys from the VMM-263 Thunder Chickens, based in North Carolina.

Lt. General Robert Walsh, U.S. Marine Corps, was part of the lineup delivery and Major General John Ewers, U.S. Marine Corps, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

The Color Guard was presented by the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard, Marine Barracks in Washington.
