Just got back from the Beavers game and fireworks, and what a show all round! Nutling #1 and I were there all night, and Cablenut and Nutling #2 joined us right after the 7th inning for the rest of the game and the fireworks. As it happened, that was the time to come: The Beavers batted a home run with bases loaded--first time I've ever been privileged to see such a thing at a live game. Pretty exciting.

The cordite smoke in our neighborhood is so thick it's obscuring the streetlights. hack, wheeze.

ETA: The kid who hit the "grand slam" was Peter Ciofrone. Seven runs in the eighth inning, including those four. Wotta game.
