Umpires: HP: Tim Welke. 1B: Tim Timmons. 2B: Chris Segal. 3B: Todd Tichenor.

Weather: 76 degrees, sunny.

Wind: 14 mph, Out to CF.

T: 2:35.

Att: 42,295.

Section 420, Row J, Seat 26 – upper level out beyond first base, but not bad overall

 

Highlights – great weather … got to the old lot HH before it filled up (after failing to find a parking place at the Shady Grove Metro) … got to the stadium just in time to get one of the last of the 25,000 10th Anniversary Commemorative Collectors Tins … the usual Opening Day ceremonies and announcements … the Nats’ three hits (leadoff single by Taylor in the 1^st, homer by Harper in the 4^th, single by Harper in the 6^th) … nice debut for Max Scherzer … brisk pace of play

 

Other – the Nationals offense (except as noted above) … two Desmond errors that led to the 3 Mets unearned runs … waiting over 20 minutes to get into the old lot HH to park
