First trip to Banner Island tonight, as the Ports debuted their new (or at least one the two new) alternate uniforms which are worn for home games on Fridays. Frankly I like the new color scheme, but the logo, as I have mentioned before, is appalling. But the silver lettering on the Navy blue looks sharp to my eyes.
It was only a matter of time before the Ports bats woke up, and with some help from Bakersfield Pitching hitting two consecutive hitters, the tie was finally broken in the bottom of the 8th with a two run homer from Tony Thompson, leading to the 4-2 win and a 2-0 start to the 2013 season.
It was great to get out to the Ballpark, have a hotdog and some peanuts and just enjoy the sound of the crowd and the game for the first time this season!
