Nats erase six-run deficit, blow lead in 9th
Nats Flattened by One-Two Punch – The Post
I watched the game here and there, after having to turn down a ticket because of other obligations. The Braves went up 6 – 0, but the Nats came back, courtesy of back to back home runs from Rick Short and Nick Johnson in the 6th, followed by a five run rally in the 8th. In the 9th, the Jones boys, Chipper and Andruw got three runs on two homers off Chad Cordero and the rally was for naught.

There were a combined 121,972 paid-for tickets at both stadiums yesterday. The Nationals drew an announced crowd of 31,834, and their attendance for the three-game weekend series against the Braves numbered 112,212, proving, if nothing else, that for the moment they can coexist with the Redskins in a growing sports market.
So, which game to you attend/watch on TV? Over 31,000 made it out to RFK, a decent crowd.
