Wet Wednesday Of H.S. Baseball / Softball

There is not too many games for the Wednesday wet weather to cancel on the ball field today. 
Also a chance of some more rain and windy conditions expected tomorrow on Thursday.

We hope to be covering the EPBP Lady Lakers at the Unionville-Sebewaing Lady Patriots on Thursday. What a wreck this wet weather has been for thumb area baseball & softball teams...
