Teams: Syracuse Mets at Columbus Clippers
One of my favorite minor league stadiums to visit. This stop almost didn’t happen. This was game 3 of a three game series in Columbus. The Friday and Saturday night games were plagued with rain. I had made the decision not to go to each only a couple hous before I needed to leave. Since the only game left on this particular weeknd was the Sunday game, I made the decision to go early that morning. Regardless, the day was overcast with the temperature in the mid 50’s. Just like games 1 and 2 in this series, the rains paid a visit in the 7th inning. Good thing I brought a rain coat.
I really wanted to see the Syracuse Mets play this season. I’m a HUGE Florida Gators fan and Tim Tebow is playing with the S. Mets this season.
The game was actually somewhat boring. The Clippers had no offense this day, managing only one hit, a single in the bottom of the 6th. The Mets put up runs in the 5th and 8th innings to win the game 2-0. My buddy Tim had a less than stellar day offensively. He was 1-3, with a strikeout. After his single leading off the 8th inning, he was subsequently picked off first.
