JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State's Rudy Abbott Field at Jim Case Stadium will have a Truist Park flavor on Sunday as the Gamecocks close out the Conference USA series with Sam Houston.

Matthew Kaminski, the famed organist for the Braves and can be heard throughout Truist Park, will be playing tunes throughout Sunday's contest with the Bearkats. Kaminski is making his third trip to The Jim as he has performed during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Away from playing at all the Braves' home games, he has typically played at many college baseball programs – Georgia, Georgia Southern, Mississippi State.

Sunday's contest is set for 1 p.m. Tickets are available online at JaxStateSports.com.

Kaminski, is a musician who performs for a crowd of 40,000 people at least 81 times a year at Truist Park in Atlanta. He is a versatile musician who's proficient on the piano and accordion as well as the Hammond B3 organ. He's been playing for the Braves since the 2009 season. A popular figure in the baseball world, he's known for entertaining the crowds with funny musical asides when a player from the opposing team is announced. NBC Sports online once wrote that "The Braves Organist is the Coolest Guy in the World."

In addition to playing for the Braves, he also plays for several college baseball teams, and the Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL hockey team). Matthew has been featured in The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Fox 5's Good Morning Atlanta and Good Day Extra, NPR's Weekend Edition, the BBC, and has received positive "on air" reviews from Braves announcers on the radio and television.
