Just got done with my first day of the tourney. Did 9 games instead of the original 8 but who's counting. We had an hour and half rain delay in the second round. Rained almost an inch and the grounds crew did a pretty good job of getting the fields in playable conditions. It was kinda funny watching some players out there with brooms and squeegees trying to move the standing water around to get the ground to soak it up. After the delay, we went to 5 inning games with a 60 minute time limit which helped us get all games in. We also played with a 1 & 1 count (with courtesy foul on third strike) and the games moved along quite nicely. Got 5 more games tomorrow.

BTW, in the 31 years of this tournament, it's only been rained out once back in the mid '80s and that was on the Sunday. They did coin flips for trophy's.
