For the first time in eight years I attended a Northwestern baseball game. The last time I attended (May 17, 2002) my brother was in town and we had nothing to do on a Friday afternoon. This time, my wife had forgotten something on campus. So rather than drive up to Evanston and spend five minutes picking it up, I made the trip \u201cworthwhile\u201d and attended the Northwestern baseball game. In addition, to give Nicole a break from our newborn son, I took him to the game.<\/p>\n

Buying Tickets<\/span>
\nTickets for Northwestern baseball are $7. Infant tickets are only $1. But usually Northwestern will not charge for an infant \u2013 even for Northwestern football and basketball.<\/p>\n

Michigan St. at Northwestern
\n<\/span>Northwestern pitcher Erik Jokisch motored through the Michigan St. lineup as the Wildcats turned five double plays and defeated the Spartans 2-1. A total of eight double plays kept the game to a quick one hour and 39 minutes. The impressive performance was viewed by several scouts who were also in attendance.<\/p>\n

\nOn a rare occurrence I was selected to participate in a fan promotion. I had to answer a Northwestern baseball trivia question \u2013 of course; I had no idea and was given the answer. I won a $10 gift certificate to Buffalo Wild Wings in Evanston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
