Well, we woke up this morning to sunshine! A first for everything. Rumor is thunder showers later (maybe). but it wouldn't be a day in Williamsport without a little rain :).
Another record that has been set this year, is the number of times the tarp has been put on and off by the grounds crew (30+). They do an incredible job with these fields and grounds of the LL complex.
This morning, we were all invited to the Little League World Series Umpire Alumni breakfast. We listened to a few speakers and enjoyed some fellowship.
Easy day until later - my game is at 7:30. Looks like a great match-up between Hawaii and New York. I have a great seat to watch, and will be at first base.
More later~~
Well, another day done. Korea moves to International Championship game on Saturday and Hawaii headed to US championship. Worked 1B and Hawaii won 10-0 in 5. All routine calls at 1B, so easy night. Yes - they pulled the tarp for our game for a short rain delay.
Schedule for tomorrow is posted above.
