Twins’
Fans Take Trip to Metrodome
Story by Support Professional, Brian
Estes
Sitting among the 24,727 fans packed
in the Metrodome on Sunday, May 5th,
five men who live in the
Burger House wondered if All Star
Twins’ catcher, Joe Mauer, would be
able to repeat the three-run
comeback he made two days earlier
after returning from a back injury.
Only nine innings could tell if he
would be able to do it again.
The sunny, 70-degree day, turned out
to be a perfect one for browsing the
vendor booths outside of the stadium
prior to the game. Steve, being
“born a Twins’ fan”, along with the
others, took this opportunity to
pick up some memorabilia. With
souvenirs in hand, they entered the
domed stadium just in time to watch
the warm-ups begin.
Through six innings, the Twins
dominated the Kansas City Royals
with a 4-0 lead. Much of their
success could be credited to,
pitcher, Scott Baker, who
did not allow any hits. Justin
Morneau,
Jason’s favorite player, was
equally impressive with one run
and three hits.
Unfortunately, for the Twins,
the second half of the game took
a turn for the worse. Over
the next three innings, much to
the guys’ disappointment, the
Royals racked up five runs.
Not even Joe Mauer could save
them with a two-out run in the
bottom of the ninth because the
Royals were able to add two more
runs after this making the final
score, 5-7, in favor of the
Royals.
Even though the Twins did not
win, the guys had a good time watching
them try. They
enjoyed
cheering for the Twins, dancing
to the music, and eating the
stadium food.
Being die-hard fans, you can
guarantee they will be back again
to watch them soon!
