The Kilgore Chamber of Commerce would love for the minor league teams  to reschedule last nights  game since they lost a lot of money on it.

 

The Ft Worth Cats and Shreveport Sports, however, don't care.  They were only doing the Chamber a favor by playing at Driller Park, and will not reschedule an exhibition game.

 

I went to Driller Park last night in case any of you did not get the message and showed up. I did my walking around the paved trail that circles the ball park. I told a lot of people that drove up... that the game was canceled, but I did not see anyone I knew.

 

There was water standing on the infield and outfield. The Kilgore High School baseball coach was out there working to get rid of the water. He was joined by the coaches from Nacogdoches H.S. al of them were still working on the field when I left.

 

Kilgore has a play-off game with North Lamar and Nacogdoches has one with Hallsville at Driller Park this weekend. The coaches  were not  happy .

 

The high school I graduated from, Sabine, had a bi-district softball game scheduled to be played at UT Tyler last night, that game was also postponed due to rain. I was planning to go to the softball game then rush to see the last of the baseball game.

 

I do not have to rush tonight... I will be in Tyler for that softball play-off game which starts at 5:30 p.m. at UT Tyler softball field. They will play a doubleheader against Bullard.

I have never seen a game at UT Tyler.

 

Maybe the weather will cooperate so we can all go to the Minor League Game at Driller Park next year.
