Rain hampers PONY tournament

By Tom Williams

BAZETTA — Several fine defensive plays were executed Monday during the Chain Reaction-CT Eliminators PONY softball game.

Almost as impressive was the staff at the Candlelite Knolls softball complex, whose quick work with tarpaulins prevented another long day of weather delays for the national tournament.

In the third inning of the Eliminators’ 3-0 win, PONY officials ordered the tarps brought out as radar showed a heavy shower nearby.

Within an hour, the Trumbull County-based Chain Reaction and Eliminators from Connecticut were back on the field, as were the other three 12-year-old bracket play contests.
