Onto the baseball game across the street. Solon is playing Shaker Heights for a doubleheader. It is Saturday and the weather is cooperating. The sun is out and it is a little chilly. However, the crack of the bat and the pounding of the glove along with the umpire calling balls and strikes are welcome sounds of Spring after another tough cold and snowy Northeastern Ohio winter. The game is played at the Community Park which is across the street from the high school. It has neatly groomed and maintained grass infield and the grounds is handled by the city recreation center staff. This varsity field is part of a complex that has a JV Boys diamond along with the girls soccer fields. One unusual thing that I noticed was the presence of lights throughout the complex for the fields except for one field. That field was where the Varsity Boys Baseball team plays their home games. Interesting but noticeable. Solon scores and Shaker comes back but in the end, Solon prevails 6 to 4. The second game is about to begin.
