Yes you can.
Did it this morning. Raining. Mound got sloppy. 14yo pitcher couldn't find the plate and blamed the mound. Called time. Had grounds crew guy come out and rake and put diamond dry on front slope of mound. Went back to calling strikes. Rain stopped. Game complete. No more whining. I would probably still be out there if I had not stopped and had them fix the mound. (grin)
