Valentine's Day Ballgame
While the Northeast is still digging themselves out from a blizzard, we spent this Valentine’s Day afternoon sunning our toes in 70-degree weather at a baseball game. We were joined by yesterday’s guest blogger Barbara Anderson who has been suffering much from baseball deprivation. The game pitted the UC Davis Aggie team against the Cal Bears. The Aggies got off to a rough start in the top of the first: the leadoff batter hit a fly to left which was muffed, and Cal went on to score three runs. The Aggies soon caught up and were ahead 8-3 by the bottom of the third. We left early to do a couple of errands and Barbara had a class to go to, so we ended up missing the exciting bit. Cal rallied in the 8th and 9th innings but the Aggies added to their score to win the game 13-9.
- Even the ding of those aluminum bats was music to my ears. Glad to learn the Ags won—scary rally by those bad news Bears. Good fun, especially for February. And maybe next time, we’ll win one of those fabulous prizes!— Barbara Anderson 15. February 2006, 00:46 Link
