Anyone know if the whole infield at Wren has been tarped the last couple days?

I hope so. Wasn't sure with the team out of town for MAC tournament. Didn't know if it was the team's responsibility or OU grounds and maintenance folks.

Any predictions on the score of the game today? I believe Athens comes in being the better ball team and picks up the win to make it back to the regional finals.

Tarp is not on. It looks like a mess. Standing water on base paths.

If not for the team being out of town they may have tarped it but when they leave town the tarp stays off. Groundskeepers will tarp for OU home games on game day only and the team covers it when needed for practice. For outside events such as the OHSAA games your at the mercy of elements.

Rain needs to stop now for that field to be ready for tomorrow at 5pm and even then there is no guarantee.

Does it have to be OU grounds people who put the tarp on? Plenty of strong fellas around town who can put it on.

Rogers or Sano? Schamp or Dawson?

Thoughts?

Seeing last year both teams barely got on base with their aces, I picture Sano vs Dawson

Down to 2 small water holes on infield and there is a crew removing water and hand raking right now. With some sun and wind it should ready by 5pm.
