Water Tower baseball slowed by rainy weather
Waterlogged baseball fields have kept parents and coaches from the Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club busier than their young players this year. Last Wednesday, Joe Pié, the program’s baseball commissioner, walked around the two baseball fields behind the Water Tower Recreation Center, while his son, Philip, raked the dirt fields with a tractor. “There’s really not anything you can do when it comes to rain water,” Pié said, though he and his son were trying hard to get the fields dry, flat and ready for that evening’s game. Last weekend, three of the eight games that were to be played were postponed because of the soggy field. The weekend before, on May 10, three more games were postponed. Even most of opening day’s games were rained out, though the club still went forward with the day’s festivities.
