I got there an hour early to take a relaxing tour, but they started playing instead! Apparently they were going to be playing a doubleheader to makeup for the previous day’s rainout. As is customary in minor leagues, that means two 7-inning games. Average stadium, more the tan split face block instead of the red brick. Lots of bench general admission seating. Capacity ~10000. There were maybe 1500 there on what began as a sunny summer day. In the bottom of the first, the Senators pitcher walked 3 people in a row to set up a nice grand slam!! He didn’t even make it out of the first inning, Bowie up 6-0. The Baysox pitcher went all 7, and threw a no-hitter! I think this is the second one I saw, after a combo no-no I think at Greensboro, 4/24/12. I tried to stay for the second game, but it started to rain, and I had still had to set up camp before the Orioles game that night. Could have had a triple header!! The chicken sausage with pepper and onions was great, and a craft beer, something with devil in the name of it. Expensive though. 7.50 for the beer, 12 GA tickets, 6.50 for the sausage. OK hat. Kind of a ho-hum experience from the stadium though. I could imagine if there were more fans it could be quite fun. Free onsite parking though!
