An excessive heat watch is in effect from Thursday afternoon until Friday at 6:00. The temperature is predicted to break the century mark early Friday afternoon, which means the Memorial turf will be unbearable and possibly even dangerous at 5:30 when we were scheduled to begin warming up for our game against Parkway. However, by 7:00 the temperature should return to normal heat-wave levels, and by 7:30 it may even dip into the 80s.
So, we will avoid the late afternoon heat and play a night game at Memorial. We will have first pitch at 7:30, right as the lights fire up over the Memorial diamond. The lights will be shut off at 9:30, so we will have to wrap up our game by then.
This will be a cooler, safer, and more exciting way to play our final regular season home game.
