Dogs from Great Danes to Chihuahua puppies enjoyed either sitting with their owners in the stands or relaxing on the grassy area near first base.

Between innings the Temecula Valley Dachshund Club provided some lively entertainment with the Weiner Dog races. The winner was a four-year-old from Riverside named Daisy Mae, owned by Francesca and Andrew Cox. The low-to-the-ground runner beat out eight other dachshunds for the first place honors.

Owned by Lauren Seals of Fallbrook, Hunter was rescued in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and sent to a shelter in Dallas. According to Seals, Dachshunds are hard to place in Texas so he was shipped to a dachshund rescue in Corona where he was adopted by Seals.
