Pre-Season game York @ Lancaster

I took a half day off work today and went to the Atlantic League pre-season game between the York Revolution and the Lancaster Barnstormers was a great day out weather-wise clear skies and 65-70 degrees perfect for a game.   The game was York's early as they took a 4-1 lead but in the end it was Lancaster with an 8-4 10 inning win and they were winning by that score after the top of the ninth they played a couple more innings to get all the pitchers there work hey that's what pre-season games are for right.   As for Collecting I was able to get 7 players and 21 total autographs a foul play and a Bryan Pounds Broken bat.
