Weather this week for the PONY National Fastpitch Softball Tournament hasn’t exactly cooperated In fact, it’s given more headaches than anything. In three years of covering the tournament, this is the most rain I can remember, giving officials, field crews and site managers plenty of things to do during the six-day tournament. I have to give a round of applause to the field crews at Candlelite Knolls, Fields of Dreams and Liberty Township Park for recovering the fields in a quick and timely manner. They are definitely earning their paychecks this week. But during one of the many rain delays, I started wondering: What are the players doing when their schedules are suddenly halted by Mother Nature? While the girls might go out and do other activities after softball is over for the day, when it’s playing time, most of them are focused on softball, until a nasty storm comes and delays those plans.
