A world-class facility, the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium boasts an efficient drainage system that allows the playing field to recover quickly from inclement weather.</p> <br /> <p>The schedule originally divided today's games into two separate sessions, each consisting of two games. Due to the weather, the first session is to be played simultaneously as the second session on an alternate field.</p> <br /> <p>The weather is now setting a scene for a pleasant evening of top-notch softball and fans are beginning to file in. I'm expecting the crowd to be unaffected by the delay and am looking forward to an electric night of competition.</p> world-cup-of-softball softball-fastpitch weather Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:50:00 GMT Trish18 http://community.active.com/blogs/WCOSTrishOberhaus/2007/07/12/rain-cant-stop-the-world-cup-of-softball 2007-07-12T22:50:00Z 1 year, 1 month ago http://community.active.com/blogs/WCOSTrishOberhaus/comment/rain-cant-stop-the-world-cup-of-softball http://community.active.com/blogs/WCOSTrishOberhaus/feeds/comments?blogPostID=2282
