Washed out

Things were just getting started at Outwater Park

LOCKPORT —  

Bulldogs are mudders, after all.

Kenmore East exploded for six runs to open Monday's rain-soaked Niagara Frontier League baseball game at Outwater Park.

The only thing that could stop them was Mother Nature and she was relentless.

Umpires called the game in the top of the second inning with the visiting Bulldogs not only leading 6-0, but they have the bases loaded and no outs when the game is resumed, possibly today.

Thing got started earlier than the 4:45 p.m. projected starting time as teams hoped that Monday's light rain would either stop or stay that way, but it slowly escalated.

The Bulldogs plated two runs in their first at bat as Luke Simmons and Dan Gilforte crossed the plate.

In the bottom of the first, LHS sophomore third baseman Charlie Sobieraski ripped a shot to deep center field and went in with a stand-up double. Sobieraski moved to third, but the Lions were unable to get on the board.

The Bulldogs got base hits from Preston Smith, P.J. Blanch and Luke Simmons in the second, while Brian Silvastri, Johnny Mirobello and Gilforte drew walks to make it 6-0 visitiors when the game was finally suspended.
