The Ogden Raptors, a Pioneer Rookie League team of the Los Angeles Dodgers, play at Lindquist Field, which was built in 1997. Seating capacity is 4,015. It was a hot 97 degree late afternoon game. The Raptors were playing the Idaho Falls Chukars and were quickly out of contention after the Chukars scored eleven runs in the first three innings. The box score was Chukars R-18, H-20, E-0 and Raptors R-7, H-9, E-3. The field lines are RF-335', RC-350', C-387'-390', LF-335'. Great deck area in left field call the Tar Pit to watch the game. Oggie is the mascot. When the grounds crew came out to do a mid-inning drag of the infield they were dress in drag. Great views of the Wasatch Mountains from the park. The Chukar pitcher shown is Blaine Hardy from our hometown area. He went to Edmonds-Woodway High School graduating in 2005. The rest of the Chukar bullpen is shown. |
