The Ball Wackers
– Game #4 vs. Spots-Con –

Game #4 was a wash. We got through one inning before UREC called the game on us due to lightning coming within eight miles of UREC, with the help of our friends at lightningstorm.com (note that lightning was visible in the distance throughout the game). Since the game was incomplete, and the lightning persisted through the remainder of our allotted field time, the whole game was scrapped, and the game ended in a draw. However, up until the game was called, we had a lot of fun, in a tight battle against our substance-free friends on the quad.

After we gave Spots-Con their three outs, Dana helped with getting everyone lined up to bat.

Then the announcement came.  Lightning within eight miles of UREC.  So it soon became time to round 'em all up and bring it on in.

Inside, everyone was just killing time, waiting for the lightning to get out of range and for lightningstorm.com to give us an all-clear.

Unfortunately, the all-clear didn't come in time.  So, the game was cancelled, the result a draw, and we all went back home, to await finding out when the first playoff game was.
