“Interesting” day at ballpark yesterday after getting both games of a double header cancelled while on the way to the ballpark. Then we finally got a game “scheduled” for a 7:30 start only to start at 8:05 meaning that most of the boys and families were there from 2:15 until after 10 last night and still put up a hard fight but didn’t come out on top. Heads up, flush it, and come back ready to work tomorrow!
