CHAMPAIGN — A slow, steady rain invaded east central Illinois last night and has camped out over our heads all day. The rain hasn't been fast enough or heavy enough to cause much trouble, but it was enough to cancel the baseball and softball games at Unity and SJ-O tonight.
The Spartans' girls were scheduled to host Tri-Point in their first conference game of the year, while Unity's baseball and softball teams both had games scheduled. The Rockets' baseball team has won five of six and the softball team has won three in a row, but both are now off until games Saturday.
On the track, the Spartans' girls didn't attend tonight's track meet in Clinton, but the boys' team did decide to brave the rain and head over to the home of the Maroons. As of right now, I have no idea if the meet is on or not. If it is, I have to assume the Spartans will run in it — they wouldn't have driven all the way over there to turn around and come home unless they absolutely have to.
Tomorrow's schedule has the SJ-O baseball and softball team hosting games, while the Rockets' athletic teams are off until Saturday. I just checked weather.com, and it looks like it's supposed to be mid-50s and sunny during the day tomorrow. Hopefully the sun is strong enough to dry out the fields, because I'd like the watch some games. Baseball and softball season are always marred by unfairly rough weather, so hopefully the Spartans and Rockets can get all they can out of the good weather we're having (today notwithstanding) this spring.
