Atlanta 6 WASHINGTON 4 (ESPN<\/span> Boxscore<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Jerome Williams<\/span> pitched himself and the Nats into an early hole, giving up three 1st inning runs. He gave up another in the 4th before the Nats started coming back. The Nats had the lead run on at the plate with one out in the 7th, but Ryan Zimmerman<\/span> struck out and Dimitri Young<\/span> lined out to deep left.<\/p>\n

The biggest news of the night was the Nationals decision to wear Virginia Tech caps<\/span><\/a>. Zimmerman, a former UVa. star was “honored to wear it.” Some details from The Post<\/span>:<\/p>\n

The idea sprang from an e-mail that Nationals fan Dave Lanham sent to team president Stan Kasten. Lanham, a resident of Calvert County, suggested that the team don the hats in tribute. Kasten liked the thought but didn’t see the e-mail until after his afternoon meetings.<\/p>\n

With about 90 minutes before first pitch, Harolyn Cardozo<\/span>, executive assistant to General Manager Jim Bowden<\/span>, was on the phone calling sporting goods stores. She dialed the number to the Sports Authority’s store in Alexandria, and when she heard a voice, she had one simple demand: “Give me the smartest guy in the store who can get something done fast.”

Paul Schneider<\/span>, a department manager, soon was scouring the store for Hokies hats. Cardozo asked for 40 of them and they needed to be at the stadium before the Nats took the field. Schneider found about 20 on the rack and discovered a box full in a storeroom. He talked his managers into donating the 38 hats of various styles, then jumped in his car to cross the Wilson Bridge and weave through rush-hour traffic to get to RFK.<\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes before the first pitch, Major League Baseball gave the team approval. Schneider arrived at the stadium during the first inning, and the caps made it to the Nationals’ dugout in time for the team to take the field with them for the second inning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Phillies arrive tonight for two games in less than 24 hours. This week’s scheduling is odd, no?<\/p>\n

I should be at the game tonight in the cheap seats (officially), let me know if you want to meet up.<\/p>\n
