At least there was pizza...

For those of you who haven't read last night's game story at the main Rattler site here is the important part for this post.

The rain fell harder during the break between the top of the fifth and the bottom of the fifth. Home plate umpire Max Guyll called for the tarp as the rain pelted down after a 1-0 pitch from Meyer to Chris Parmelee.

The Beloit grounds crew needed help to get the tarp all the way on the field. Both umpires and Timber Rattler manager Terry Pollreisz started to assist, but only after the rest of the Timber Rattler team charged from the dugout to help did the tarp get unstuck and pulled completely over the infield.

Where does pizza fit into this?

The Beloit front office was appreciative enough of the efforts by the Rattlers that they sprang for pizzas for the whole team after the game was called.

See. Beloit isn't that bad.
