| Third Game - Camden According to my directions, Camden�s Campbell�s Field is 11 minutes from Veterans Stadium, right across the Delaware River. Even during rush hour, it wasn�t much longer than that. I walked in just in time for the national anthem. In the 3rd inning, I ran into Frank Albanese, another ballpark collector, who I saw earlier in Philadelphia. The Bridgeport Bluefish took a 3-0 lead after the top of the 5th, scoring on back-to-back doubles in the 2nd, a single and a sacrifice bunt that was thrown into right field in the 3rd, and a HR in the 5th. The Riversharks scored a run in the 5th on back-to-back doubles of their own, and tied it in the 6th on a double, an error by the centerfielder, and a single. It stayed that way until the top of the 11th, when Bridgeport batted around. After the first 2 batters came up and were retired, the Bluefish got 2 singles, a Camden error that should have ended the inning but instead loaded the bases, then 3 more hits, scoring 4 to take a 7-3 lead. Camden threatened in the bottom of the inning, getting the first 2 men on with a single and a hit batter, but failed to score.
