a long rain delay one game one rather easily take
to take us through that and tell us about it.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We just we actually hit the ball well, our pitchers
through strike to handle the zone. And then we had
that long rain delay where we had to get the
big tarp out, cover it, sit in the locker room
for a while, and then uncover and start playing again.
And Barrett was pitching when it happened, and came back
(01:27):
and started pitching just as well and got us to
that game.

play tarp rain crew, I mean ground crew.

Gracious, Now what happened in those two hours?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
About it? Our had two hours, so all of our
jerseys were sucking wet from putting the tarpa on during
the rain, so our parents went home. God, it's a
different jersey. We just sat in the locker room listening
to some music until we were told to take the
tarpall I love it.

So Christians want to talk. Susans state, we're the underdog
going in. We're just gonna have to shorten all of
our swings because then they got some guys that throw
it pretty hard to shorten our swings and first strikes.
