The Weather Strikes Again

One look at the calendar shows you that Spring is right around the corner. One look at the weather would make you think it was still winter. This past Sunday, I had every intention of going to watch a baseball game. It was set up perfectly as this would be my first chance to watch a sports team from Valley City State University. As a student at VCSU, I was excited to see the Vikings play baseball.
As the weekend approached, I began to watch the weather carefully as I knew it was not looking real promising for the weekend down here in Iowa. My home is located about 80 miles from Fremont, Nebraska which is where Midland Lutheran, the Vikings first opponent of the baseball season, is located.
The season ended up getting off to an earlier start than usual as the weather forced the schedule to be moved up to Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday. While I was not able to see any of the Vikings games, I can give you a quick recap thanks to the VCSU Athletics web site.
On Friday, in game 1, Midland Lutheran scored in the bottom of the 7th inning to win the game 7-6. The second game did not go as well for the Vikings as they lost 6-0. Both games scheduled for Saturday were rained out as the bad weather began to makes its way into Nebraska. The Warriors and the Vikings were not able to play on Sunday either as a rain, snow, and wintery mix began to makes its way into the area.
The Vikings will stay in Nebraska for the week as they next play about 20 miles down the road in Blair, NE. It will be an all Viking match as the VCSU Vikings take on the Dana Vikings in a four game series. There will be two games on Friday followed up by two games on Saturday.
