First cancelation of the season.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

The OhioHSAA baseball and softball season started this past Saturday but neither Junior and I were scheduled to umpire.

Junior and I were scheduled to umpire a girls' varsity softball this afternoon but it was canceled because of poor field conditions at 01:30pm. I hope this is not a trend because except for Sundays, starting today, we have either a H.S. baseball or softball game including at least a dozen DHs between today and May 13th, except for April 18th when neither of us have a game and May 02nd when he has a game and I do not.

I think that the more than 80 inches of snow that NW Ohio received this Winter is going to cause a lot of games to be canceled because of wet field conditions. NE Ohio had it even worse this Winter and even had 5 inches more snow on Friday night.
