Game 2
The second game of today's double-header went underway at 6:50 PM.
The game lasted one hour and 52 minutes, meaning that the double-header ended at 8:42 PM, completing a long and rainy day at the field!
Including pre-game preparations, it took almost seven hours to play today's games!
On a positive note, both games could be completed despite the rainy weather conditions.
And that deserves a compliment for the players, coaches and staff-members of both teams, but of course also the game officials.
And everyone else involved in today's games.
