Saturday afternoon a group from the dorms including myself met at 5:00pm to ride on a charter bus to a NY Mets baseball game. I am so glad the weather was perfect because Friday it rained and so far today (Sunday) it has been raining. The game started at 7:10pm against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Our seats were in the grand stand between left and center field. Our view of the field and action was really good though. The ballpark is called Citi Field, and it is a gorgeous new stadium. The game was really good and close.
The game was tied in the eighth inning 5-5 when the Mets hit a grand slam homerun to lead 9-5. The final score was 9-6. Everyone left home happy! The game lasted over three hours. We got back about 12:30am to New Haven. This trip to the game in NY capped off a terrific experience of all I've seen and done in NY in seven visits. Now I have two more class days this week to concentrate on and finish strong before I leave on Thursday.
