Due to a last-minute ticket swap with our friend, Kathy, sprite and I were able to go to tonight’s Nationals-Braves game at RFK.

The game was quite a treat. Atlanta got off to a hot start, scoring two runs in the second inning and adding another four in the fourth. The Nats added a run here and there, once evening up the score at two all. But it took until late in the game for the Nats’ bats to come alive. Frank Robinson subbed in a plethora of pinch hitters, and the Nats eventually clawed back to win, 8-6.

So it gives Gary Masziewski a rare win, and Chad “The Chief” Cordero his 44th save of the year. It was a ton of fun, and I’ll have pictures up at Flickr in the next day or two.
