AAA Albequrque Isotopes (Marlins)

This game take us to Albuquerque to see the Isotopes at Isotopes Stadium.

Name origins
The fictional Springfield Isotopes from the long running TV series The Simpsons were the influence for the new name of the team. In the episode "Hungry Hungry Homer", Homer Simpson attempts to thwart the team's plan to move to Albuquerque.

After a 1.5 hour rain delay, they started to play ball as the light rain was still falling. Due to the time of night, we left in the 3rd inning and the Topes' went on to win the game by 1 run!
