I went down to Trenton New Jersey today to see the Binghamton Mets play the Trenton Thunder in what I thought was to be a 9 inning afternoon game beginning at 12:05pm. It turned out to be a doubleheader with each game lasting just 7 innings. The Binghamton Mets lost the 1st game 4 - 3, but after being down 2 - 0 going to the top of the 7th inning in the second game they ended up scoring 5 runs to take the lead and a split of the
doubleheader.

I had very good seats for the game in section 16, row F, seat 5
