The weekend started on a bit of a downer. The weather between February 20th and 24th had turned cold and rainy. East Tennessee State showed up for a single game Tuesday, and the local downpour resulted in a cancellation and a “no contest” after 3 1⁄2 unproductive offensive innings. Maybe that was a blessing, maybe not. But Friday was looking a bit dicey as February was asserting itself. Temperatures were in the mid to high 40s and the clouds kept circling in the swirling late Winter wind. That made it feel pretty cold, and the Fordham Rams, down from New York City/Westchester County were probably feeling right at home.
