AUBURN - With last week's persistent rain, youth sports were washed out on a regular basis.

Dave Rabuano is trying to prevent that.

“I've been at the field every single day trying to get them ready and dry,” the Auburn Little League president said. “We just need to get them playable.”

He managed to accomplish that much, finally squeezing some games in over the weekend.

But that left another dilemma. Little League rules stipulate that a pitcher is only eligible for a certain number of innings per week. When games are canceled and rescheduled, a week can be stacked, and teams need to adjust.

But with pleasant weather back - for who knows how long - the games go on.

The Auburn Police Department rallied from a 7-1 deficit early in the game to get its first win of the season over Auburn Correctional Facility, 10-8, in an Auburn Little League baseball game Thursday.

Matthew Covich threw seven strikeouts in three innings for APD, and Jake Clark and Josh Sorensen also pitched well. Sorensen, Clark and Mark Dushatinski had two hits apiece.

Conner Engle and Mike Granato pitched well for ACF, and Joe Wilson and Engle each had a home run.
