No one was seriously injured after a post-game fireworks malfunction sent sparks into the stands, the team spokesperson said.
- During Thursday's game at CarMax Park, a fireworks malfunction at the Richmond Flying Squirrels event sent sparks shooting into the stands during the post-game display.
- Witness Alyssa Durden, who recorded the incident on her phone, initially thought the low-level sparks were intentional. "We realized some of the mortars must have fallen over," she said.
