August 12,2010 Last night it was United Methodist night at the local AAA farm team for the Astros, the Round Rock Express. Thankfully, it had rained in the late afternoon which brought the temperatures down from 100 to the 80's. The baseball diamond is in a beautiful setting, with lots of activities for children and youth--swimming, shooting basketballs, rock climbing, etc. There are lots of silly games out on the field between innings. In the first inning the home team, the Express scored 9 runs. In the second, they scored 2 more. In the third inning, it was 11 to 0. I asked in a joking manner, if there was a mercy rule in professional baseball. Sacramento Rivercats clawed their way back, scoring 5 runs in the fourth or fifth inning, 2 more in the sixth. At that point we left the game, with the score 11 to 7. I opened the newspaper this morning to find out the final score. The Rivercats scored another run in late innings, and 5 in the 9th inning to win 13 to 11. The Express never scored past the second inning. Lesson learned, "it ain't over till it's over."
Love,
Lynn
