Some weekend

[CecilOne]

Second pitch of game, gets the back of my right hand. Swells up to a golf ball in seconds, so three games with ice pack taped to my hand. Still sore.

Second game, batter interference (hit with batted ball) and catcher obstruction in the same inning. Same week unusual, but same inning??
Both games, terrible catcher complaining endlessly about lack of batter box lines, spectators whining about strike zone, UIC chasing coaches from behind backstop. Strike zone looked fine to him.

Third game scheduled at 11:15 with 80 minute time limit, starts Saturday at 11:30, ends Sunday at 9:08 after third try (lightning, rain, wet fields).
Next to last (third) game on Sunday, now down to 70 minute limit, goes 1 hour 56 minutes with two innings of ITB.

Did I mention, all but one game 10&U? OK, I'm finished griping. Least enjoyable tournament in years, but I'm there every year, next year, too.
