Beautiful Night For Baseball at Holman

Silver Knights are down 1-0 against the Wachusetts Dirt Dawgs in the bottom of the second, nut that's OK -- the air is cooling and the beer is cold. My husband and I are enjoying our free seats -- well, they only cost me a pint of blood during a recent American Red Cross blood drive.

It's also a 75th anniversary celebration night, with retro Nashua Hawks uniforms and lots of enthusiastic fans.
