The Year Mom Won the Pennant (2009)
“The sky was cloudy and getting darker every minute. A storm was brewing in the west.
The teams played four innings before the rain came and halted everything. Fans scattered out of the park to their cars or whatever shelter they could find. The Thunderballs and the Zebras sought the shelter of their dugouts.
After a while the base and plate umpires got together, discussed the situation, and called off the game. Since it had gone at least four innings, the Thunderballs, leading 7 to 3, were declared the winners.
On August 11 they played the Tornadoes for the third time, not counting the practice game. It was the Tornadoes’ last game of the season. Tomorrow’s game between the Thunderballs and the Stars would be the last for the Thunderballs.
The Tornadoes had beaten the Zebras on Wednesday, leaving them with a record of six wins and five losses. Up till today the Thunderballs’ record was seven wins and three losses.
