    Scottish Night at the Ballpark

    So a few of us X-markers gathered at Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Sand Gnats for their "Scottish Night" featuring the Savannah Pipe and Drum Band, and quite a few kilted folk in the stands.

    The Band arrives:



    The Band parades:



    The Band opens the game:



    then plays America the Beautiful during the 7th inning stretch:



    And we gather for a quick snap before parting. L to R, 7 Miles, Gnate the Gnat, MacKay71 and KFCarter (Mischieftech had already departed):



    A great time was had by all and stay tuned for more. A kilt night follows tomorrow as a few more X-Markers come in to town, and on Saturday, the Games, at last!

    Sand Gnats rallied for 3 runs to tie in the bottom of the ninth but lost it in 12. Good game, though, and a great night in all.

    Looks like it was great fun! High school, semi-pro and other amateur games can be better than pro-ball games.
