The final home game

The Rivercats won their last home game of the regular season in the bottom of the ninth. We had taken an upgrade which is the upper photo. I really do not like to sit in those seats. I really feel out of the action. In about the fourth inning we moved back down to our regular seats. The problem with day games at this time of year is that they are very hot. In the eighth we finally moved up into the high rows and the shade. They ended the regular season 33 games over .500. But the win was not without some drama.

In the seventh the Cats took over the lead. In the top of the ninth the Cats loaded the bases by pitching through a batter and then bobbled a ball and allowed a runner to steal home to re-tie the game. That was with 2 outs and 2 strikes and the very next pitch was a strike. But in the bottom of the ninth, the Cats got one back to win the game. We next see them for the playoffs on the 11th.
