My "Baseball Vacation"

Last week, I used some vacation time to go see some Buffalo Bisons games. On Monday, the Bisons defeated the Toledo Mud Hens, 7-2 behind Aaron Herr's two-run homer in the 6th, followed by a Brad Snyder solo shot. Jordan Brown also contributed a two-run double in the third. Henry Mateo hit a two-run dinger in the 8th for the only Toledo tallies. The Bisons' success ended there, as they were swept by the Syracuse Chiefs to close out their first homestand of 2008. On Tuesday, the Bisons had a 5-3 lead after 4, but had only one hit the rest of the way in a 7-5 loss. Wednesday's game was a 4-2 loss, with Aaron Herr contributing a two-run double, one of only two hits by the Herd. Thursday brought a 9-7 loss, with Jason Cooper going 3-for-4 with a three-run blast in the 8th.
Monday and Tuesday's games were played in sunny, but cool weather. Thursday was by far the best day weather-wise, with temps in the high 60's. I can't wait to get to more games this season (and score them).
