Mia? Mia?

One reason to come to Dodgertown these days is to see if Mia Hamm shows up to watch hubby (tabloid term) Nomar Garciaparra play first for the Dodgers. She's pregnant with twins, so I haven't seen her yet.

Felipe Lopez, facing Jason Schmidt, grounds the first pitch of the spring to Nomar at first, and he's out, 3-1.

Lineups, in case you need them:

Washington:
Lopez, 2B
Jimenez, SS
Zimmerman, 3B
Kearns, RF
Church, LF
Escobar, DH
Schneider, C
Broadway, 1B
Logan, CF

Hill, P

Los Angeles:
Valdez, SS
Pierre, CF
Garciaparra, 1B
Kent, 2B
Luis Gonzalez, LF
Betemit, 3B
Lieberthal, DH
Ethier, RF
Huckaby, C

Schmidt, P
