Waiting is the hardest part
AUBURN - The grills were fired up and the seats at Falcon Park were just about filled. Opening day of Auburn Doubledays baseball began on Tuesday and the setting was perfect. Well, except for the rain.
After nearly two weeks of summer-time weather, scattered lightning in the middle of a downpour put a temporary crimp in a game that Doubledays fans have waited nearly 10 months to see. The score between Auburn and rival Batavia was tied at one after two innings. The game will be picked up from that point on Thursday at 6 p.m. followed by the scheduled game with the Muckdogs that will go seven innings.
For the one and only Doubledays starter who was making his professional debut in the less-than-ideal conditions, Darin Mastroianni shrugged off the rain ruining his first game out of college.
