Midnight ends the game


Eriq, Taylor and I were running a little late but we decided to go to Sonic for food. Last night after a funnel cake, a Pibb and a frito pie, I thought Sonic sounded pretty good rather than ballpark food. Not that it's bad, but enough was had last night. Despite going around a wreck on Swisher, we got to the game on time. The game started at 7:35 as scheduled...and then was called shortly after midnight due to TCL regulations. What a game! Ashley and Lauren were the ballgirls, despite me having to carry Ashley to the dugout, she had a great time and wants to do it again. We were down for awhile but after getting 2 runs, 3 runs and then 4 runs, we were finally up 9-6 going into the bottom of the 8th. But then the game was tied up again at 9 each. That's when the pitching finally started to hold strong and we had 3 straight innings of no score for either team. Taylor really wanted to go to Sonic again after the game for a chicken wrap but we knew that one closes at midnight so shortly before then she started calling the other ones in the area to see if anyone was open later...they weren't so by the time the game was called due to lateness, the Sonic dream was over. Cindy had to head home so she dropped off Eriq so he could go to bed and I could stay and take Eric and Taylor home. So the three of us went to Jack in the Box for a bite to eat instead of our first choice which was closed already. I watched one episode of House with them while eating and then left them to stay up all night and finish the other 3 episodes.
