Harrisburg Senators at Play








This game made my fourth baseball game of the year. This time it was our home team the Harrisburg Senators, the AA affiliate of the Washington Nationals. We had missed Bryce Harper playing in Delmarva for the Hagerstown Suns because he had gotten promoted to Harrisburg. Just a day or two before this game he went on the DL. This game matched the Senators against the Eire Seawolves from the Detroit Tiger organization. Altough the Senators were in first place, they dropped this one 0-7. Notice the double play in picture number 4. And some special guests at MetroBank Park on that warm Saturday evening. Yellow and Waldo. Yep, there he is. The ballfield ended up under water after the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee passed by last week. The field sits on an Island in the middle of the Susquehanna River which rose from its normal 5 feet to just over 25 feet. The Senators were forced to play their playoff games on the road and got swept in three games by the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
