The Brazos Valley Bombers held their second annual Fan Fest Sunday afternoon at the Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark. The Fan Fest was the first opportunity for fans to see the Bombers on their home field. Nearly 500 fans arrived to enjoy carnival style games for children and live music, including Ben Morris and the Great American Boxcar Chorus, for the older crowd. The evening was topped off with a run of the bases by fans and a home run derby which Aggie junior Brett Parsons won 6-5 over Alan Harris in come-from-behind fashion.



The trip home comes in the wake of a 0-2 road trip to start the Texas Colligate League season off on the wrong foot. The Bombers narrowly lost to McKinney Friday 3-2 in a game that set a TCL time record. Bomber pitcher Brian Watson pitched six shutout innings out of the bullpen but gave up the game winner in the sixteenth. On Saturday the Bombers lost a slugfest 13-8 to Coppell to put them last in the TCL standings.

The Bombers' first home game is Tuesday, when they host the McKinney Marshals.
