We decided to take in a ballgame for the second day in a row (pretty taxing for people without season tickets). We decided that we would mix up our experience. We have both sat in the bleachers before (with church youth groups mainly) and we usually sit in the lower reserved, almost always in sections 113 or 114. We we feel like an adventure, we sit on the third base side lower reserved. Tonight, we decided to sit in the upper reserved (AKA the "nose bleeds") which in the Bricktown Ballpark, we discovered, are not bad seats at all.
For one thing, there were fewer weirdos screaming obscenities at the visiting team, which was nice. There was one colorful character, who "hardly drinks any beer" that by the end was pretty wasted. He struck up a friendship with Charissa and I and ended up buying us drinks, the non-alcoholic kind of course. There was also a salesman from Colorado who got tired of sitting at the hotel and decided to come root for the Redhawks.
The Redhawks won, which is further distancing us from our former bad luck streak. The Hawks have now taken the first two in a four game series against the first place Isotopes of Albuquerque.
The hometeam won in the 11th inning off of a bizarre bounce over the heads of the Isotopes' Third Baseman and their Shortstop to become an RBI base hit for Catcher Nick Trzesniak. The hit drove in Jace Brewer who reached third on a triple in the previous at bat. The Redhawks are now 22-30, only 10.5 back in the division...
