Met up with someone who had an extra ticket in the lower level, and brought my camera along. Decided to try a few shots with the f1.8 prime lens.

Since I am a Nats fan I focused mostly on pictures of Nats players. The starter for the Nats was Stephen Strasburg.

The score was 9-6 Nats in the top of the fifth, and Strasburg was still rolling despite the trouble.

At this point I put the camera away for the night and focused on drinking alcohol. Unfortunately this ended up being a tough game. The bullpen blew it for the fourth straight game. Here is a chart showing the win expectancy throughout the game:
