The Harrisonburg Turks.

My good friend Michael and I ventured out into Americana tonight and made our first trip to a Turks game. This minor Minor League softball team - named for the city's many turkey farms - plays at the old high school stadium.



It was a perfect night for a ballgame, and we ate it up. At least until it got too cold... we left at the end of the 5th inning.

We had pretty good seats... 4 rows behind homeplate :) The crowd was small but noisy, and were happy to see that the winless Turks were finally scoring runs. They were 0-6 going into this game, and were winning 8-2 by the time we left.

A good night overall. There is little that compares to the combination of country folk, baseball, the smell of hotdogs, little kids running around eating candy, and a beautiful sunset in the background. Worth our $5, even though we left early.
