ATLANTA -- Having to make an extra trip to play a midseason game at a neutral site would normally by cause for grumbling.Thats not the case, however, with the historic game Sunday night at Fort Bragg, N.C., between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins.Everybody looking at it as an honor, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. It will be an honor to go play for them, give them a little something back. See those guys. Have lunch with them.The game, announced in March, will be the first major professional sporting event at an active United States military base, and a 12,500-seat temporary stadium was constructed for the event.All tickets will go to military personal and their dependents. Others will have to watch on ESPN at 8:05 p.m. ET.It wont be a big stadium but it will be a big game, on ESPN and everything, Braves starter Matt Wisler said. It should be a pretty exciting night.The teams were to stay Saturday night in Fayetteville, N.C., after flying in from Atlanta, then spend a full day on the massive Army base Sunday before heading out for their next games.The Braves (28-53) play in Philadelphia on July 4, while the Marlins (42-39) will head on to New York to play the Mets.Atlanta has won two of the first three games in the series against Miami and is 8-3 this year against the Marlins.Miami reliever Mike Dunn was part of a group of major leaguers who spent a few days embedded with the troops at Fort Bragg in 2014.Ive always appreciated our service men and women, but going there and spending time with them one-on-one really gave me a different outlook on it, Dunn said.To visit there was unforgettable, and I think this game will be unforgettable, too.Said Marlins manager Don Mattingly: It really is an honor to be able to go. Im excited about it. From our standpoint, it should be an appreciation.It seems like not only baseball but all sports and the nation itself have been a lot better lately about honoring our military and respecting what they do for us.It is the finale of a four-game series between the Braves and Marlins that began Thursday at Turner Field, and figures to be the most memorable of the 19 the teams play this season.These military guys that were going to be around are the real heroes who give us an opportunity to do what we do every day, Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski said.Left-hander Adam Conley (4-5, 3.90 ERA) will start for the Marlins and try to stay unbeaten against Braves. He is 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA in two starts this year and 2-0 with a 3.54 ERA in four career outings.Right-hander Wisler (3-7, 4.14 ERA) has pitched only twice against the Marlins, getting a save in his only relief appearance this season.The attention wont be on the starting pitchers, though. They will be far secondary to the event itself.I feel like the energy is going to be great, Mattingly said.Added left fielder Christian Yelish of the Marlins: For me personally, its going to be awesome, who has a brother in the Marines. As soon as we found out about it in spring training, Ive been waiting for it to come along. Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys China .

Damien Oliver has linked with Chris Waller for a midweek win at Sandown but the champion jockey hopes a bigger prize awaits the pair in Perth.Oliver got the Waller-trained Encosta Line home in Wednesdays Le Pine Funerals Handicap (1800m) and on Saturday will ride stablemate Mackintosh, the equal favourite in the $1 million Railway Stakes (1600m) at Ascot.Its nice to get a winner for Chris. I havent been doing much riding for him lately so its good to get a winner for him leading into the big meeting in Perth, Oliver said.Mackintosh has a wide draw but Oliver, who is originally from Western Australia, is hoping to overcome that as he chases his first win in the Railway, one of Perths biggest races.Olivers late brother Jason rode the winner of the Railway in 1990 on Medicine Kid.The barrier is a bit tricky but outsidee barriers havent got a bad record in that race, sometimes it can be a bit of a blessing, Oliver said.ddddddddddddYou can miss some interference. The horse is in good form and Im sure hes going to run a great race.I havent won one. My brother won it, so its one hes got over me. Its one Id like to win.Encosta Line ($3.60) was forced to chase Temps Voleur and Prima, who had a break entering the straight, before hitting the front inside the final 50m and he drew clear to win by 1-1/4 lengths.I had a close look at this blokes form and noticed he had only won two and had seven seconds, so I didnt want to get there too soon on him, Oliver said.It was good that I was able to arrive late on him.
