It was great to see the park full of kids playing the greatest game with almost perfect weather, especially after all the recent rainouts.
I am well aware of the delay in Saturday evening's games. We purposely avoid scheduling any games after 8:30pm on Saturdays to allow ample time for delays, ITB, etc., so that teams can go home at a reasonable hour. The delay in the start of some of Saturday's late games was NOT acceptable. Some were caused by ITB games throughout the day while others were caused because a few of the umpires fell ill before and during the day Saturday. I was especially concerned because when working with such a young age group, as a parent, I do not want my kid out at all hours of the night.
SGSA will continue to work to improve the softball experience for all at Bob Jones Park. For those who were inconvenienced because of our shortcomings, I apologize.
