Save it, rainy day

AUBURN - The tarp was on the field. The fans were looking skyward and predicting. Puddles were becoming ankle-deep on the warning track.

Then came Mike DeForrest over the public address system.

"Attention Doubleday fans, today's game between Auburn and Batavia has been canceled due to rain," DeForrest said amidst groans of disappointment from the crowd. "The conditions in the outfield are unplayable due to excessive water. Unfortunately this game will not be made up."
