Arlington resident Steven Zaret, 63, sat in the last row of section 116 at behind the third-base dugout at Nationals Park a few minutes before midnight Wednesday.
In the first year as partial season ticket holder, Zaret waited out a rain delay of nearly three hours to watch the Washington Nationals get blanked 3-0 by the visiting Baltimore Orioles in a game that ended at 12:24 a.m. Thursday.
“We ate at a restaurant (inside the stadium) and walked around,” Zaret said of time spent during the rain delay. “I figured they would start again.”
The game ended as Mark Reynolds of the Nationals came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded in the last of the ninth against Orioles reliever Brad Brach.
