Baseball in Ankeny

Today started out real nice. We didn't need a jacket and not much breeze. We found the complex of fields and have never seen quite such a layout for youth sports. We arrived after Calvin's game had started. He was playing 3rd. The other team was from Bondurant. Calvin got on base and died on first. Then the 3rd inning went to left field. He got some action there. They are set up to play 6 innings or 1 1/2 hours, but the umpire called the game at 10 to one. 1/2 hour short. No one seemed to know why. We waited to start at 1:30 on the next field. This time one of the Ankeny teams. Clouds were building and we saw some lightning to the south. A few sprinkles, but it was kind of going around us. We had the bases loaded, when they called the game for 1/2 hour. Then at 2:40 the rain had pretty well passed and they canceled our game, so they could start the 3:00 games. Quite disappointing I thought.
