Wednesday May 13………..3:23 p.m………..It’s Wednesday so it must be a rainout again……..looks that way as of now………..showers coming in from the west should hit the area within an hour……for updated information contact the weather line at 728-3551 ext. 384………if games are postponed, there’s always playoff hockey down at U.S. Bank Arena as the Cyclones play host to the South Carolina Stingrays at 7:30………….the Clones are down in the best of seven series 2-0, but don’t count Chuck Weber & Co. out just yet………HAPPY SOFTBALLING AND/OR HAPPY HOCKEY…………r.rosenthal@fuse.net

With all the rainouts I wanted to act fast to construct a revised schedule. Credit goes to our scheduling guru, Jerry Kirzner for modifications. We’ve added a Sunday in the first half (5/31) and a Sunday in the second
half (6/28) , but with the revised schedule we can get back on track. Of course, more rain will create more challenges. If there are no major objections I’d like captains to get this information out to their players as soon as possible so they know what’s going on.

Wed 5/13- Week 5
Sun 5/ 17- Week 6
Wed 5/20 – Week 7
Wed 5/27 – Week 8
Sun 5/31 Makeup of Week 1
Wed 6/3 – Week 9
