NATS Game!

We celebrated the end of school by attending the Nats game vs. the Detroit Tigers on Monday, June 18. The game was eerily reminiscent of the Spring Break game we attended - except the Nats' 9th inning comeback fell one run short this time!

Game action: notice the Detroit base runners - there were too many during the game!

Nats Win!

We attended the Washington Nationals game against the Florida Marlins yesterday afternoon. The game turned out to be great, although it didn't start off that way. The Nats got behind early (again!) and by the middle of the sixth inning were down 6-1. They had not shown too much at the plate until the bottom of the sixth. With two outs, the Nats bats started to come alive. A couple of singles by Dmitri Young and Brian Schneider led to Ryan Church's three-run homer and the Nats were back in the game. Rally caps came out in the eighth and the Nats bats struck again in the bottom of the ninth - a double by Ronnie Belliard, a single by Robert Fick (scoring Belliard), a sacrifice by Felipe Lopez, a single by Kory Casto (scoring Fick), another single by Ryan Zimmerman, a walk by Austin Kearns, and a final single by Dmitri Young (scoring Casto) led to three runs and the 7-6 win - the first for the Nats this season and the first for Nats Manager Manny Acta! All in all, it was a great day at the ballpark!
