Michigan State's baseball team played the local minor league team the Lansing Lugnuts (go nuts!!) in the crosstown showdown. This is apparently the third year in a row that they've had the game and the Lugnuts won the last two but MSU won 12-2!
It was a fun game and there were a TON of people. Luckily, it was a really nice day and it was Thursday so the 'Thirsty Thursday' $2 beers were quite popular!
They even found a way to get coach Izzo involved... he got a standing ovation at the game as he was announced as being the 1st base coach during the 3rd inning...
We had really good seats too! We were right behind third base and only 3 rows up! Unfortunately there were a lot of lefties who sprayed foul balls our direction but, don't worry, we escaped without losing any of our teeth!
This picture is Big Lug, the Lugnut mascot. We're not really sure what he is- it's like a purple and green spotted dinosaur walrus thing...
Most people had left by the bottom of the 9th inning when we took this picture but it's a pretty nice field!
