We decided to take in one more Reds game today. We had made sure Catherine didn't work today, and we hit the jackpot with the weather! The temps are in the upper 70's, and the humidity is low...absolutely ideal. We were pretty sure the crowds would be low with the beginning of the NFL season today and nothing for the Reds to really play for at this point. However, they are an entertaining losing team. You just never know with them! The Reds were behind, then tied the game in the bottom of the 8th. In the bottom of the 9th, two men got on, and then Michael Lorenzen, a relief pitcher, battled at the plate for a pinch-hit walk-off win! It was so exciting! Earlier in the week, he had pitched in relief for the win, hit a home-run, and played center field. He is such an exciting player, and it was an awesome win. While I've been to many games in my life, I rarely get to see wins, and I've never seen a walk-off before!
After the game we walked across the stadium to a gorgeous riverfront park. We walked through the park as we headed back to our car. It was a fabulous way to squeeze out one more afternoon of summer fun!
