Nationals Baseball Game

On Friday, September 26, 2014, I attended my first Major League Baseball Game.  I went to the Washington Nationals baseball field for a game between the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins.  I went with Sarah Spaulding and Brendan Lin. We got to the stadium around 7:15PM.  Once we got in, I was amazed. It was so big and there were so many people!  When we bought our tickets, there was a special called Beltway Burger Night.  For $20, we got our ticket, a burger, fries, and a drink.  We went to the concession stand called Foggy Bottom Grille.  Once we got our food, we stood at bar shelves looking onto the field.  The food was great and we didn’t miss any of the game because we wanted to eat.  Once we were done eating, we went to find our seats.  We were in Section 403, Row B, Seats 12 – 14.  Even though our seats were the highest section up, we had good seats and could see everything.  The Nationals were doing really well and were winning up until about the 5th inning.  In the 5th inning, the Marlins took lead by a few runs.  But as the game went on, it went downhill.  By the top of the 9th inning, it was 15 – 7, Marlins were winning.  We decided to leave in the middle of the 9th inning. Even though the Nationals lost, overall, the night was a success spent with some great friends!
