| It was 5-3 when I
left in the 5th inning of a rainy CHS baseball game here between Collinsville
and Skiatook ... to get ready for 6pm school board meet. Both teams, coaches
and fans are desperate enough to play despite the foul weather which has
plaqued the start of this season. -- Ted 5:55pm Monday 3/9/2015 [Jim Riley reports 13-3 final score -- 6:51pm] |

The
player/coaches "grounds crew" worked on the mound between
innings to keep it playable in the rain.

Varner's hit reached the right field fence for a 1-run RBI double in
the 4th inning.

These
are just a few of the loyal fans that sat in the rain for a delayed
opening day game.

| CHS baseball fans will soon have a new seating area down the first base line. Athletic director Jim Riley called it a "birds nest". The scoreboard in the background is at the softball field beyond the baseball right field fence. | ||||
