Game 1 of the 2018 World Series is in the book and it goes to the Red Sox! Overall, I didn’t have the best night shooting. Should have shot loose on the Nuñez home run to get the full reaction. But it’s all good, we look ahead to game two tonight.

Again, I don’t have much time today to post, but I wanted to get this up before the end of the day. A tough loss for the Red Sox last night in game two of the World Series.
Overall, it wasn’t a huge night for action photos from my spot along third base, but here are the highlights. On to game three!
