“A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.” — Humphrey Bogart
We took the opportunity to see UConn host UMass at Dunkin’ Park while the Yard Goats were on the road, on what turned out to be a nice Tuesday night. This was our first time seeing UMass live, and third of the season seeing UConn.
There isn’t much more I can say about Dunkin’ Park than I have previously. It’s an amazing stadium to catch a game, with a beautiful field and extremely easy to get in and out. We arrived early to catch some BP, with Eli talking to players whenever he could. Before first pitch we headed to our seats, this time selecting the Home Plate Club which is a unique area, both for the proximity to the action as well as the slightly sunken seating.
UConn entered the game on an 8-game winning streak, and continued staying hot with four home runs and a 12-2 win by run-rule. Eli continued his hot streak of getting dugout cards from both head coaches after the game.
It’s too bad the Big East tournament is in Ohio, as it would be fun to watch in Storrs if they could take first place by the end of the season. Who knows, maybe we’ll make the trip!
