Down 3-1 top 3. Apparently we were sloppy in the first. We had 1st & 3rd 0 out in the 2nd and couldn't get anyone home.

Loftin goes yard and ties it up with 1 out bottom 5. Umps immediately stop play with lightning in view.

Baylor ties it up at 3-3, after a 2 run bomb. Immediately after they stop play due to lightning.

That was very fortunate/convenient...haha!

Zeus, is lord of the sky, the rain god. His weapon is a thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him.

(and evidently the sloppy early inning pitching/play of BOTH teams last night was not pleasing)


Today Saturday is a new day. Libations and animal parts offered at the Shrine.

Hope to meet re-meet some of you guys at the Tailgate. Thanks for your efforts in putting this together.

(I'll be the OLD GUY with the walking stick)
