Long Review
I have been seeing the flags hanging on the light poles in downtown Mocksville advertising the Davie Crocketts baseball team. I thought, Mocksville has a minor league team? Well, it's a collegiate level team, according to their web site. Don't come here expecting the same experience you get at a Dash game. It's more baseball and with no fun stuff between innings.
Tickets were only $9 so I thought, what the heck. As stated above, you can buy the tickets at their web site or at the gate. They email you the tickets and accepted the digital copy on my phone when I arrived. Nobody scanned the ticket.
At the beginning of the game, the announcer welcomed us to "historic" Mando field. Well, okay, but just because it is old doesn't make it historic. The benches get uncomfortable after a few innings, and shook every time someone moved or sat down. The game I went to was a 6:30 PM start, and the sun was a little unbearable from the main seating area. The seats face west so you have the sun in your eyes while trying to watch the game. There are a few spots to sit where you can avoid it.
The product on the field was okay. The Davie Crocketts were very aggressive at bat which resulting in a lot of hits and runs. Their competition, the Hungry Mothers (I am not making this up), were not great. Lots of missed infield plays resulting in errors. Of course I don't remember how many errors the Hungry Mothers had because the scoreboard was partially malfunctioning. The Runs, Outs and Errors lights were not working.
Is this a Yelp 5 Star product? No, but I really want the Davie Crocketts to do well, plus they exceeded my expectations with having beer for sell. No draft but canned beer, including a Fiddling Fish option. read more
