Game suspended

After wavering on if I should go to Mineral Wells due to not feeling really well and the threat of rain and trying to find someone to go with me, I finally headed out by myself just after 5:00 hoping to see Eric play. I got there just in time although as it turns out they had switched home sides of the field so I got to wander across the whole set of stands to find a seat. I got settled in and Eric was starting at first base which was good and the weather looked good, slightly cloudy but cool and not rainy. Our starting pitcher was struggling but he was hanging in there and had given up 1 run in 3 innings, our hitting was also struggling, having gone down 1,2,3 in the first 2 innings and finally getting going with a double by Tyler L in the third when...the rain started, it just burst down out of nowhere but stopped after about 2 minutes. All the fans in the stands started moving inward and upward where the cover was more protecting. The game continued with a walk to start our half of the 4th inning, Heath was up to bat and it just really let loose for good this time. The guys all ran into the dugouts and watched the field start to wash away. They covered pitchers mound and home plate but the rest of the infield was just flooding. A couple of Mineral Wells guys ran out onto the field and played slipper slide on the wet grass and then into the mud slide outside first base. Then Kyle and Zach took off their undershirts and went and did the same. Finally the game was called and we all packed up to go home. No new date has been set for continuation. I asked Eric to ride home with me and he didn't mind so we stopped at McDonalds for some nuggets and then headed home. So, it's an "early" night because despite the nearly 2 hour drive, we are home sooner than usual. This rain must stop, that's the 3rd time a game has been canceled or suspended now due to rain in 3 weeks.
