Answer: $25.79

Question: What was the total cost of our Friday night?

Here's how it totaled up:
- $14.71 for 2 burritos, chips, salsa, and 2 drinks at Q-doba
- $9.05 in gas for the 150 mile round trip to Springfield
- $2.03 for a venti Pike at Starbucks after the game
- $0.00 for tickets to the Missouri State v. Wichita State game
- Watching MO-State hammer the Shockers was (you guessed it) priceless.

Yes, we've got an advantage, Britt's brother Brayden plays 3rd base for MO-State, which means we generally get in on the player's pass list. Tickets are a whopping $8 at full price, so it's terribly expensive even for paying customers.

It was a great game...for Bears fans. After giving up 1 run in the top of the first, the Bears lead-off batter took the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 1st out to left to tie the game. A couple of innings later a 2-run home-run put MO-State up 3-1, an inning later another 2-run home-run made it 5-1.

Meanwhile Tim Clubb was cruising through the Shockers lineup (which strangely had 4 Oklahoma natives in it including the starting pitcher) like they were a high school squad. Clubb retired the side in less than 10 pitches at least twice, maybe 3 times. He threw a complete game, gave up 2 runs (one of which should have been unearned, but a bad scoring decision upstairs gave a hit on a ball that should have been scored E8) and 3 hits. The runs were scored in the 1st and the 9th. Between those innings he was pretty much on cruise control.

The final score was 8-2.

For a baseball fan that likes big burritos, it doesn't get much better than that.
