It was a leisurely morning again because of the early afternoon game. Ran down to the little snack shop in the hotel and picked up some juice and granola bars for breakfast. Then on to packing the suitcases so that we could check out and head to the game.
Another packed house in T-Mobile Park. Saw a number of Pirates fans, but nowhere near the number that travel to games on the east coast. It was little league day and the kids were allowed to walk around the field with their teams.
We grabbed some lunch. Earle had a Seattle Dog - hot dog with jalapeños, cheese, and bacon. I had pretty tame chicken tenders with garlic fries. The fries were good (not as good as Oracle Park in SF) but tasty. There were too many to eat, for sure.

After I finished lunch, I went back and visited the Mariner's Hall of Fame. It was a nice display, but well hidden behind one of the concession stands.
The game didn't end like it should have. The Pirates came back tied it up and then had the bases loaded in the 10th inning and couldn't score. Mariner's walked it off with a 3 run home run.
Went back to the hotel to mass confusion in trying to pick up our luggage. The hotel managerial staff needs a lesson on efficiency! After about 25 minutes finally had the bags in hand - and we were only the 3rd party in queue.
Took a Lyft to the Double Tree Hotel at the Airport where we reorganized the luggage for the trip home. We had packed everything into our checked luggage in the morning so we could lock it for storage.
Then time for an early dinner in the hotel restaurant. Earle had a Rachel sandwich was quite substantial. I opted for a margarita and wings!
Early bed since we had a 3:00 wake up call. Another very short night ahead.
