May the force be with the Durham Bulls tonight when they take on the Pawtucket Red Sox. It is "Star Wars" night at the ballpark, which means the Bulls will be wearing special jerseys. Also, keep an eye out for Darth Vader because we heard he might drop by. And stick around after the game for fireworks.
