A Fun Game

Last night the Cats played Tucson in the third of their current series. It was an interesting game from many perspectives. First, among the eight pitchers in the game, they had 25 strikeouts. There were only two home runs but Wes Bankston's bottom of the seventh turned the tide, we had fallen behind and his never in doubt HR, brought us back into the game. We got the go ahead run in the bottom of the eighth.

But there were also some odd things. Two groups of people thought it would be funny to run across the Tucson dugout, which is right in front of our section. The first were two young women, who got cheered. Then some middle aged guy with a beer in his hand did it and spilled a lot of his beer - he was booed. All three were ejected from the game.

Two groups tried to whip up the crowd. First, a guy got up with a plastic pink flamingo and tried to get us into the game, he was largely unsuccessful. But a group immediately in front of us began to do a cat squeal and then move their arm in a cat like gesture that may actually catch on. Attendance was about 7500.
