The Pirates brought two teams to the Complex, so there were games on Ashburn and Schmidt Field. I watched the one on Ashburn because it has a scoreboard and offers better vantage points for observation. That didn’t matter much as Roy Halladay was on hand and I didn’t pay enough attention to the games. Continue reading XST Update: June 2, 2017
