You know the tarp which would have let games scheduled Friday and Saturday go off with no issues. You know the multi-billion dollar corporation that has in its contract that nobody other than the Crosscutters during their season can use the tarp. And you know who could fix this mess but does not? MLB. It’s the latest black eye for high school baseball at Bowman Field since MLB took over.

it goes from that to postponing games? At 11:45? On a field with lights? That’s a gigantic leap from just a little earlier saying the games would be moved back two hours. South already was on the bus heading to Bowman Field with everything seemingly moving forward as scheduled when it received word the games would be moved to 1 and 4. It happened last year to Sayre and Southern Columbia, too. But we’ll get to that later.įor now, in 2019 Montoursville and Central Columbia had to move their game to the Friday before states started, meaning their aces could not throw in the opening round. And as much as it might play dumb here, MLB is making the rules. Playoffs have been a mess there each season under MLB’s stewardship since 2019. Since MLB came on board, seemingly any time a rain drop falls games are doomed. The city got some nice field renovations but everyone else got hosed, specifically the high school baseball players. John Neumann played nearly all their home games there as well.Įverything changed when MLB took over. There was a time when Bowman was so accommodating that not only were district championships and state playoff games held there, but Williamsport, Loyalsock and St. When the district administrators and coaches have no say over their playoffs, something is broken. Either way, both are reasons why playoff games should no longer be held at Bowman. Either Bowman Field has some of the worst drainage known to man and could not be played on or someone is going to simply use any excuse out there to make it look like that and prevent the games from being played there. That goes double when that field has lights and could have pushed the games scheduled back from 11 a.m.

There is no doubt in my mind that just about any other field in the state, under the same situation which happened here Friday-Saturday, would have hosted those games. Still, MLB has helped do everything possible to destroy what used to be so fantastic about having the championships there. I respect all those who work there because they do great work. That came about when it postponed the finals a day before a sunny Friday of games would have taken place because of afternoon rain that Thursday, leaving teams which already had checked into Williamsport hotels in a bind. As far as Williamsport and high school baseball is concerned, this was the biggest embarrassment since it moronically lost the state championships in 2003 when it postponed the finals. What happened Saturday was the latest debacle among a mountain’s worth.
