HS Softball Started

It was a little touch and go but they had their first game on Monday, DD pitched the first 3 innings and then caught the rest of the game.

coach is out raking the field/turning it over right now.....we'll do it again after practice to help it handle the moisture

if we get the lower end of the forecast we might get our scimmage in on tuesday or move it to wednesday.......but the field is in such good shape now, with the forecast of rain then warm/wind, it shouldn't be long

DD1s freshman year, 2019 i think? we got 14" on the Friday before April vacation.......so this is a full week earlier and not as bad

i was correct.......we were back on the field in a limited basis monday (it hit 60) and full go yesterday.......we are running the first scrimmage today, it's 44 with a chance of a spit of rain......lovely softball weather

looks like tomorrow will get washed, and our playdate saturday looks like the same fate, but still holding out hope there

We've now had 4 outdoor practices since the season began March 11th. Played our 6th game last night...all of them on the road. Our home opener was supposed to be last Tuesday, but was moved to the other team's location because we got 12" of snow a few days prior. Then our home opener was supposed to be last night, but rain over the weekend kept a field that was already water logged from the previous snow too wet to play on. So that was moved. Was hoping the 35-40 mph wind the blew on it all last night would be enough to dry it out for an outdoor practice today. Nope! Woke up to a mix of rain and snow falling.

So we hit the road (again!) for four games this weekend, then travel again next Tuesday, and cross our fingers and hope our field is dry enough for our third attempt to host our first game next Friday (19th).
