Sprinkler Delay!?

What a game!! James had the late baseball game last night. It was supposed to start at 8:00, but didn't get started until 8:20. The Pirates had a fantastic start to the season and were 4-0. Then we lost, then we tied, then we lost. So we were a little nervous going into the game. Plus we were playing a team that was undefeated! Those of you with kids playing ball know though that things can change quickly in a game!

We were away, so we batted first. Everyone had great hits and the bases were loaded. Things were looking good. Then we had three outs, had to leave the bases loaded. Which meant we had to start the next inning at the end of our lineup!
We were able to hold them, so it was 0-0 starting the next inning.

Everyone of our guys was hitting, and we scored and scored! It was 13-0 and their turn to bat. They only got 1 run, so it was 13-1 going into the third inning. I know that sounds like we had it wrapped up - but going back to what I said before, it can change quickly!

We are batting and all of a sudden the sprinklers come on!!

The kids loved it of course! They were running wild at first, then the coaches made them get in the dugout. No one knew how to turn them off! Coaches were calling trying to find out. Finally someone figured it out and turned them off. They re-prepped the field and the game continued. The Pirates held them and won 20-8! It was another exciting night at the ballpark!
