July 2010
.With the monies earned with recent Ebay sales, we decided that each kid could choose an outing with a parent. Justin went to Cold Stone Creamery with Lisa earlier this month.
.
Josh chose to go to see the Lynchburg Hillcats - High A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.
The Hillcats starter gave up 5 runs (including a Grand Slam) in the first 3 innings.
.
They faced the Salem Red Sox. I was most impressed with this batter, second baseman Oscar Tejada. The top performance was the Sox pitcher, Stolmy Pimentel, who pitched 7 innings and gave up just 1 run (a 2nd inning home run).
Josh's highlight was buying cotton candy.
Well, buying cotton candy AND eating it.
It was a fun night - even though the Hillcats lost 5-1..
I caught a foul ball (well, I picked it up after it hit the seat next to me) and the Sox first basemen gave Josh the ball used to record the final out. So we both left with a souvenir other than the cotton candy in our teeth.
