Commentary
By late in the day on Thursday, March 12, portions of Austin and central Texas had received more than 2 inches of rain. The temperature hovered
in the mid-40s all day. There’s no question that drought stricken central Texas needs the rain, but it’s not compatible with high school baseball.
All AISD Tournament games were called off for Thursday, March 12 and Friday, March 13.
Oates Field at Garrison park is poorly drained. It’s unlikely that it could be made ready for Saturday competition.
