From behind the backstop at Goodman Diamond!



Hello Everyone - The day started with a four-hour rain delay and games scheduled (onj paper) every 90 minutes. Anyone who has been around a ball yard and ball tournament with no time limits even 10% as often as I have been knows that on paper is just that.



There are diamond preparations between games and that takes the crew quite a bit of time at Goodman Diamond. Then there are rounds of infield and player introductions and then the play ball.



The final game ended at 12:27 am today (Friday).





I enjoyed the games and surely enjoyed the conversation with everyone I chatted with (and there are a lot of people to chat with).



I was impressed by some individuals in the D-4 quarter finals and impressed with some pitchers who, although didn't throw extremely fast, kept the ball down and away from batters and kept them off balance.



For detailed results of all the games go to the WIAA website at wiaawi.org and click on softball and state tournament on the drop down boxes. I can't do it any better than what is there.



See ya at the yard!

Keep it Rising!

Bob
