Garching bei München

My one and only home field game day this trip. Pix and notes on today’s games.

The Atomics field is located along a busy walking/ bike path. For safety and to attract local residents to the ballpark there are signs posted on the fence along the path. The team is very encouraging of community involvement and support.

Noon game is starting with beautiful baseball weather - warm sun and cool breezes. Should be in the low to mid 70’s F today, but clouds are likely to build with possible rain later.

Atomics won the first game 9-3. Scott played a mediocre CF and went 0-3 with a walk and run scored at the plate. Weather is holding and I’m working on my 2nd sunburn of the trip. 😎

Second game is in the book. Atomics won 8-1. Only run scored by their opponent was due to a lead off double Scott gave up and then the catcher threw over the head of the third baseman on a steal of third and the runner scored. Other than that it was a 7-inning 3-hitter shutout. Truth be told it was one of the weaker teams. He also hit a double, two singles and scored 3 runs. His teammates gave him a rousing cheer after. A great game for him and a great day for the team.

The weather held and it is a beautiful evening in Garching. We’re out now for a good Bavarian dinner.

Enjoy the pics.Read more
