This won't be a comfortable 48 hours for those associated with the Susquenita baseball program.
The Blackhawks are one win shy of qualifying for the District 3 Class AAA playoffs. Coincidentally, the team has only one game remaining -- tonight against bitter rival West Perry on City Island at 7 p.m.
A win and the Blackhawks are in at 10-10. The problem is the weather, which could cause serious headaches.
The latest forecast called for rain until approximately 7 p.m. Friday. Two weeks ago, after a storm Saturday night, the field at Commerce Bank Park was not playable less than 24 hours later. In this case, Susquenita must be at .500 before the district's cutoff Saturday evening or the 'Hawks will be on the outside looking in.
So it may come down to moving the game to either Susquenita or West Perry for a Saturday matchup. But what are the chances that a high school field will be in better shape than that of a minor league team?
For Susquenita, it's time to start doing a rain dance.
