Good luck - this post was a topic of conversation at our game today. I feel lucky that we've played 3 games so far.
just got home after getting back from the HS field, dug small holes in the standing water and dipped it off. Hopefully that will allow dragging in the am and playing in the pm. MD
Ha ha - wish it HAD rained tonight! We played Southeast - Shockwave's daughter did a great job!! It was a lot of fun watching us lose.... in a way...
Anyway - the field looked great - if the rain stays away we could be in for a great week of softball!
I'm not interested in hearing about all of Ohio's weather problems! Unless we win our conference tournament this weekend, our season is over on Saturday and we haven't played a single game with a temperature over 55. And of our home dates, we have had only two where we didn't have to take 2-3 hours to prepare our field because of rain.
Just for seven home dates, we have spent about $2,500 in Quick Dry or Pro League Red Infield Conditioner, both Turface products. We use Quick Dry on our warning track or foul line areas and a mix of Quick Dry and Pro League Red in the infield. The Pro League Red is a little more expensive, but it is great for the infield and we like to add a certain amount each year no matter what. Our players are well-schooled in raking and working in those materials. Without their help we wouldn't be able to prepare our field on those days.
We played 40 games, only the final three of them in temperatures above 55.
