BRAVING THE ELEMENTS

Red Team shortstop Austin Stephens manages to pick up the slippery ball and fire it to second base to begin a double play Wednesday against the Purple Team at Burton Wells Park. The game was officially called off after a downpour flooded the field with water. But the two teams thought they’d try to play anyway after the skies cleared. • With the game called off because of bad weather and a flooded field Wednesday, the Red Team and the Purple Team decided to play anyway.
