Louisville Bats vs. Columbus Clippers (International League)

Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY:  Brian and I settled in for the second game, and were pleased with this one, also, as we were looking for another Bats victory.  To start the game off right, though, we had to get ourselves some ballpark treats.  Brian went with some Flavor Ice and I settled for some simple ice cream in a helmet.

Pitching for the Bats in game two was lefty Ismael Guillon.  He pitched three and two thirds of an inning, giving up four hits and one run, but never allowing a base on balls.  Louisville did most of their damage in the fourth inning.  Beau Amaral hit a bases loaded triple, scoring Sebastian Elizalde, Brandon Dixon, and Rob Brantley.  The Bats lead 4-1 after the fourth and hung on for the victory. Final(7): Bats 4, Clippers 3.

We can’t forget that the Zooperstars were still on hand to put on a show.  We were able to see Peyton Manatee, Nomar GarciaParrott, and Whale Gretzky.  Harry Canary sang ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame’ during the seventh inning stretch, but I wasn’t able to snap a photo of that.

And we ended the day right by hanging out with Buddy Bat! More posts to come in the next couple of weeks.
