[Baseball=Life]

Well we managed to have a game that counted today. (14 players needed for stats to count.)

It was raining hard late evening Saturday, and had rained somewhat overnight. It wasn't raining when I checked the field at 9:00 AM, but it was overcast, and the weather called for showers all day. The percent chance for rain was 50% at 11:00, 40% at 12:00, 30% at 1:00, then back up to 50% for the rest of the day. So, I figured, screw it, let's go for it and hope that window from 11:00 - 2:00 works out in our favor. Then, with the help of Darin and Dan R. plus others, we got the field bailed out.

Against the odds, a game happened. And it turned out to be a close nail-biter. Final score 5-2. The game winning RBI went to Henry who got a clutch, 2-out 2 RBI single to left-center in the 5th. I was safe at home on that play, with the throw being right behind me, and that ended up being the winning run.

Great game.

I can't believe what I thought to be an rbi single in the hole betweeen SS and 3rd that Henry barely got to was ruled an ROE. 0for's look very yucky. Should've checked the book when I got back to the dugout.

Oh well, there's always next week.
