On Saturday (6/25) we went to a Peninsula Oilers baseball game. When we were at the Visitor Center here in town, we got the schedule for the games. We noticed that most of the games are free admission, and, sometimes, they have free hot dogs and drinks too.
The park is just a couple of blocks away from the school so we walked there.
Tonight would be a ‘free’ game. At the ticket booth we decided to buy reserved seat tickets (normally $6, but tonight they were $3). When we got into the stands and were looking for our seats, someone told us not to worry about that, just sit anywhere; so we did!!
The ball players are actually all college students playing in a summer league up here. There are four teams in the area. Most of the players were from California, but some were from Iowa, Washington, Louisiana, and Arizona. It was a good game but cold (50 degrees) with some wind. There wasn’t much scoring, and the other team scored one run in the 5th. The Oilers came back in the 8th and scored so it was tied. In the 13th inning, we left because I was too cold and it was misting out, and we had to walk back to the school. (Found out today that the game went 14 innings and the Oilers won 5 -3).
They are out of town this week but will be back for the weekend so we will be taking in at least one more game.
