The Baseball Trip 2024

 Day 6 - Sunday, June 9

The plan today is to grab breakfast and head into D.C. to see the Washington Nationals vs. the Atlanta Braves. After that, we have some time to do a little sight-seeing.

Below are some pictures from Nationals Park:

The Braves jumped out to an early lead with 2 in the second, but the Nationals answered by pounding out 5 hits for 7 runs in the fourth. An RBI single, a three-run homer, and a bases-clearing double did the damage. The Braves tried to claw back in it with 3 runs in the ninth, but it wasn't enough. Final score: Nationals 8, Braves 5.

And from our short sight-seeing walk:
