Friday Night Baseball!

So last night, me and a friend, Veronika, went to a Texas Rangers baseball game. My office gets five tickets to select home games each season. I chose this game mainly because I love Friday night baseball. I knew last night's game would be good between Texas and Boston. However, I figured it would be a pitching duel and not an offensive clinic. This is how close we were to the game:

It was an amazing game! Texas started out great, getting two runs in the first three innings, and then fell apart in the 4th when they allowed 7, yes 7, runs for Boston. This Texas team didn't quit and chipped away at the lead and in the bottom of the 8th inning, tied the game 9-9. I can't believe I witnessed this game! The plays in the outfield by Hamilton, and Murphy (a Baylor grad, who I watched when I was at Baylor) were simply stunning. Those grabs had to be on SportsCenter! The other great thing about this game was Veronika had never been to a Rangers, or other baseball game, before. This was her first experience. What a great game to go to!
