The Memphis Intermodal team recently attended a baseball game at AutoZone park where the Memphis Redbirds hosted the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
It was a cool 75 degrees throughout the mid-July night and the conditions were perfect for a baseball game. The smell of world famous Rendezvous pork BBQ nachos filled the entire stands as almost every one of the 10,000 fans in attendance were eating portions piled as high as the old Memphis Pyramid.
Xavier Scruggs, the 1st baseman for the Redbirds, hit a 2-run shot in the bottom of the third inning to put Memphis up 2-0. That homer was enough to keep the Redbirds on top the rest of the game. At one point in the night a foul ball was hit directly to our section of the stands. Several hands went up in the air so that one lucky person would have bragging rights within the office. After a failed attempt at a bare handed catch by DJ Jinks (Local FM), and after the dust and commotion settled, Melanie Brown (Regional FM) rose victoriously with the ball in hand. A nice souvenir for it being her first time ever to AutoZone Park!
Fireworks were provided after the game and it was a great ending to a great night.

GO REDBIRDS!
