AAU Results - Another Rain Delay
Hard rains hit us this afternoon during games originally re-scheduled for 1 PM. There will be no continuation of play today (Friday).
Games are re-scheduled to begin at 8:30 AM Saturday with 3-games that were suspended when the rain hit. Completion of the round robin portion continues at 9 AM, 10:15AM and 11:30 AM. Bracket play will begin approximately at 1:30 PM and the first round of bracket play will also be subject to a 1:15 time limit.
Assuming all of the Saturday games are played on Saturday, Sunday's schedule will be as was originally scheduled with games at 9 & 11 AM and the championship game at 1 PM.

Thursday, Jan 20
1:00pm and we are playing ball in the sun!!
The weather is fantastic (hot and sunny)
SCHEDULE AND RESULTS
This page is not finished yet but I am building it as we go. Please ignore the schedule after Thursday, its an old one. It will be updated as we go.
3:00PM 75f with no breeze to speak of.
Just waiting for the official scores to load up but interesting game I watched saw Adam Folkard upset in the 6th inning, giving up a two run shot that may have resulted in a bit too much celebrating and the next batter going down on a hit to the helmet. Classy move by catcher Frank deGroat who ducked a punch by the felled batter and held him in a bear hug while the benches cleared; no harm done. By the time they warmed up a new pitcher the curfew had ended the game.
Later, and I did not see this, I was told that someone took a poke at Folkard as he left the field.
Update: Adam Folkard and the hit batter each suspended for two games.
