My daughter played in a tournament a few weekends ago where the temperature dropped from the low 80's in the daytime on Thursday to around 33 at 7:00 AM Saturday AM when she arrived at the field for an 8:00 AM game. The girls didn't have to fight dew in the outfield during warm-ups... because it was FROST! The sun rose shortly after 7 and by game time it was light enough to play, and as the sun hit the outfield the frost disappeared. I told our team that they should avoid using composite bats, and think twice about the -12.5 oz drops. The other teams had a different (and not quite legal) idea. They waved their bats in front of propane heaters.
By afternoon, the temperature was in the high 60's... quite comfortable, but started dropping again by the time the girls were finished at 7:45 PM (under lights). No... we were NOT looking forward to the 8:00 AM game on Sunday, either.
I'm just glad that we discovered hand warmers last fall.
