An interesting day I would call it. Greg was woking all night and the boys had games at the same time. So I dropped Mac off with his team and coach, but as I was walking away from the field, the lightning detection system went off. Apparently it detects lightning 30 miles away. When this happens, the games are delayed 30 minutes to wait to see what happens with the weather. But it wasn't raining and it looked like it would blow over. So I left Mac with the coach and a reliable parent friend and went to see about Lu's game.
Lu's game didn't have the lightning detection system. So their game began as planned. However, about 10 minutes in, it began to sprinkle. Then about 5 minutes after that a downpour swept in from the west. Everyone made a mad sprint for cover. We waited in the car. Less than 10 minutes later, the game resumed. Now the boys were loving sitting on the bench waiting for their turn at bat because underneath their feet were puddles and they could make MUD!
Well Mac's game was called after 2 innings of play due to the same rain we got -just a mile away. But because we were not on the " special fields" our game (Lu's) was allowed to resume and Mac's game was not. So I got the phone call and left to pick up Mac and bring him over to Lu's game.
