Bombers or Rain, which will fall from the sky?

As you can see, there’s an issue with the weather for tonight game in Fulton.  We are sure to get something but the question is when, how much and how long will it last.  The cold front is west and moving east in our direction.  Time of arrival is around 5 to 6 pm and should be completely past us by 8 pm tonight. If it’s quick to move through and doesn’t dump a lot of rain, we’ll be able to the game in. We could see a rain delay to start the game.

We are just over halfway through the season and the Railroaders are currently holding their ground in the standings. A confident, first place Dubois County Bombers team is coming to the Yard to take on the second place Railroaders who are currently 2½ games behind in the standings. The two teams have met in battle five times with the Bombers taking a 3-2 lead in the season series. Both will face off for five more games, beginning tonight.

Time for the Railroaders to move ahead in the race with 19 games left.  The third place Miners trail just 1½ games behind the Railroaders and are idle tonight. The fourth place Hoppers and last place Oilers are scheduled for today in Hoptown as both teams will fight to avoid the basement.

We’ll be keeping an eye on the weather this afternoon and will update as needed if conditions change.  But for now, we’re on for more OVL baseball tonight in Fulton.  See you (hopefully) at the Yard or online TeamLine.

    Local Time: 3:40 pm - some rain sliding north and eastward of us, a little to south. Larger system heading towards us but somewhat broken. Another 2 hours should tell the weather story for tonight's game.

    Looks like Owensboro is rained out for their game tonight with the Hoppers.

    Josh and John, Good luck getting the game in tonight. We will be listening (as always) from Washington. Tomorrow we will be flying in arriving around game time. We look forward to 9 days to being the caboose following the railroader engine around the OVL. Alison and John Eliason

    Last note before heading to the Yard. Should at least get a shower or two soon, enough to settle the dust on the field. If more should come, the infield will need to covered. Game still on at this time.

    THANKS for the note, Alison and John. We look forward to meeting you. Have a safe trip!

    Short shower, more to come, how long and how much is the question. But both teams here at the Yard warming up, no batting practice. Field is in good condition and the temp has dropped down to a comfortable level.
