Lawrence Orioles catcher Elyse Boxberger shows her frustration during a game delay because of bad weather. The Baldwin Bulldogs and the Lawrence Orioles played each other Tuesday in a Lawrence Girls Fast Pitch Association 10 and under division game.

“There was lightning and thunder in the area. There are aluminum bleachers and metal fences and we don’t want anyone to be a lightning rod.”

– Janelle Martin, supervisor of officials of the 10U Lawrence Grils’ Fast Pitch Association

“The delay slowed the team down a little bit because they came out batting slow.”

– Lori Markley, head coach of the Baldwin Bulldogs

“The delay did not affect my team because they were not ready to play to begin with.”

– Jay Garvin, head coach of the Orioles
