Pittsburgh Pirates 6, St. Louis Cardinals 5: Our six-day baseball-related road trip concluded in Pittsburgh this afternoon on a very exciting note, as the hometown Pirates ralled for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the National League central division-leading Cardinals and snap a nine-game losing streak. In addition, during Cardinals batting practice, I had the pleasure of catching a home run ball on the fly in section 143 in right field, above the out-of-town scoreboard. PNC Park is a wonderful place to watch a baseball game, and our seats were behind home plate in section 115. During the game, two people seated nearby in our row also snagged baseballs that had been fouled back into the crowd.

You can access the box score of the game at this link, while articles about the game can be accessed here, here, here, here, and here.

Tomorrow, we head home to the Philadelphia area, stopping on the way to visit the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
