  • JIM’S VIEW: Watertown Baseball Wins First League Game of ’26 Behind The Right Arm of Boas

    Spring baseball turned into summer baseball Tuesday night at Victory Field. Temperatures were in the 80's most of the day and still in the low 70's at game time. Ah yes, game time. This is an important piece of Tuesday's story. Start time was slated for 7 p.m. At 6:50 P.M., under mostly clear skies both teams had completed their warm-ups, and both starting pitchers were deep into preparation in their respective bullpens.  Seven P.M. passed - no umps.  By 7:15 P.M., Wilmington was throwing a football around. Finally at 7:20 the umps strolled in thru the DPW gate and across the football field. By 7:30 P.M. we had first pitch. Not a big deal on a beautiful summer-like night, right?
