| July 25th to July 26th, 2007 Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Rangers win 7 to 6 Ameriquest Field, Arlington, Texas |
|
Today started with a quick oil change in Lubbock, TX. After that, we
made our way to Arlington, TX to see the Texas Rangers take on the
Seattle Mariners. Ameriquest Field in Arlington is a massive
structure and it contains many of the great features of some of the
classic ballparks. It has a giant wall in left field which is
similar to the green monster in Fenway, it has a facade wrapping
around the stadium like the original Yankee Stadium, it's right field
seating area is reminiscent of the old Tiger Stadium, and the outfield
dimensions are unique just like Ebbets field. This ballpark
proved to be a great setting for what was a great game. The Rangers jumped out to an early lead and led the whole way, until the 8th inning. In the this inning and leading 5 to 3, Seattle scored three to take a 6 to 5 lead. However, in the bottom of the eighth, JJ Putz blew his first save of the year and Ramon Vazquez hit a 2 run 2 out home run to retake the lead at 7 to 6. The Rangers held on in the ninth and won a very exciting game. After the game, we made our way to our hotel for the night. We'll see you tomorrow in Houston. |
