Attendance: 31,264
Game Time: 2:33 (start was delayed 1 hour
and 10 minutes due to rain)
Weather: 61 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 1 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Bill Welke, First Base
- Vic Carapazza, Second Base - D.J. Reyburn, Third Base - John Hirschbeck
Section 409, Row F, Seats 3-4 – upper level,
looking down the right field line (sort of the mirror image of our old section
416, but just to the third base side of the press box)
Highlights – smooth trip down on Metro … arrived
in plenty of time to snag the “Max Scherzer No-Hitter Bobblehead (piece #1 of
2)” … weather wasn’t bad once the game started, with none of the predicted
thunderstorms … Nats jumped out to a quick lead on first-inning singles by
Werth, Murphy, and Zimmerman
Other – tarp was on when we arrived, with
rain starting shortly thereafter (our seats were under the overhang, but wind
managed to blow the rain in anyway) … Mets struck for 5 in the third, on a
3-run David Wright homer followed by 3 straight singles and a sac fly … added 2
more in the fifth on back-to-back homers by Cespedes and Walker … headed out in
the top of the 7th to have plenty of time for Metro trip back …
missed Red Line train by about 30 seconds, so had to wait 22 minutes for the
next one … almost didn’t get out of the Shady Grove parking lot since the
machine didn’t want to react to either of our Smart Trip cards (fortunately my
Visa card worked)
