Seventh-inning stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom
Jones (a welcome return from 2015)
Section 135, Row
NN, Seats 10-13
Highlights – our seats were under cover …
Daniel Murphy smashed a bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the first,
matching the three runs Miami scored in the top of the frame … Bryce Harper got
his MVP, Silver Slugger, and the keys to the city prior to the game, and later
contributed two walks and a seventh-inning homer
Other – our seats being under cover didn’t
help much when the wind and rain kicked up, as they evacuated the stands … the
100-level concourse was no place for the claustrophobic during the rain delay,
as it was almost impossible to move … we were all surprised that Dusty brought
starting pitcher Tanner Roark back after the long delay … Roark was hit often
although not always hard during his 4-inning, 99-pitch stint, giving up 9 hits
and 3 walks … the Nats managed only 6 hits for the game, wasting most of the 9
walks they drew
