Take me out to the ball game....

...buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks. I don't care if I ever get back!

Saturday we went to a Mudcats baseball game at church. When we arrived they were finishing up the end of the game that had been rained out the night before. We came in at about the sixth inning. The Mudcats were loosing by one to the Tennessee Smokies. They were not able to bring the game back to beat the Smokies. We had some pretty nice seats. We were at ground level off the right field. The pitchers warmed up right in front of us. There were a few foul balls we had to duck for. The little boys that sat above us made sure that the balls didn't stay on the ground where someone would fall and hurt themselves! There was a net directly in front of us so ground balls were not a problem!




Between the first and second Inning the Mudcats mascot came out on an ATV and shot some shirts into the stands. No one in our group caught one. :( Oh well, better luck next time! Pastor asked if one of the men could make a motion for the church to by him an ATV. It was a running joke the rest of the night! I couldn't believe that I got this picture as the Mudcat drove in front of us and off the field. He hit the warm up mound for the pitchers and jumped. The picture is blurry but still so very cool!



In the middle of the 4th or 5th inning they had to post pone the game because of lightening. We don't want fried baseball players now do we? When that happened half of the crowded went ahead and left. We were the only ones left from Tabernacle that stayed the rest of the game. I enjoyed taking pictures and watching the rest of the game once it started back. The Mudcats lost the second game as well. It was only a seven inning game so I'm not sure if they would have won if it had been a full game or not.



All in all it was a great family fun night!
