Princeton entered its weekend series with Columbia on a nine-game losing streak, and the Tigers were able to break free in the first game of the Saturday doubleheader. They dropped the nightcap, and I went into New York for the third and final game of the series.
The Lions play at Robertson Field at Satow Stadium at Columbia’s sports complex in Inwood, the tippy-top portion of Manhattan. I’d never visited there before, and the park looked great in the Sunday sunshine.
The game was a good battle. Princeton got six strong innings from starter Justin Kim, who gave up two runs on four hits, with nine strikeouts. Reliever Ryan Penney got the save for the final three innings. He held the Lions scoreless on one hit with three strikeouts.
Robertson Field limits fans to nice seats stretching from halfway up the first base line to just up from home plate on the third base line. While I have plenty of places to roam and shoot for Princeton home games, my choices were limited in New York. I was able to shoot from above third base on the running track encircling the field at the football stadium, which abuts the baseball field.
For many of my shots, rather than shooting at eye level to the players, I shot from a higher angle. Many of my photos were taken through the screen that protects the fans in the seats from foul balls. Even with the more challenging shooting positions, I enjoyed not only the game, but the challenge of shooting in a new environment. 🧢

that six players in the same shot!!! you nailed it Dan. Brilliant timing and actually it’s seven if we include the outfielder’s shoes.
Thanks! I was so busy pressing the shutter, I really didn’t know what was happening!
