Wet weather makes a mess of the Cullman Prestate SB tourney:

Late afternoon rain forces teams off the field at Herritage Park:

GDW Analysis:
A strong shower arrived at Heritage Park by 5:30 p.m. Friday, forcing the participants in the Cullman High School softball pre-state to seek shelter.
The rain and wind made it impossible for teams to try to continue playing.
Each field of the local complex was active with its 4:30 p.m. schedule the time bad weather arrived.
Within 30 minutes, the rain had subsided with each field soaked, needing time to dry out.
The games that were scheduled for the rest of the evening from Heritage Park were stopped by Cullman athletic director Mike Dean and Heritage Park representative Mike Bates.
Gameday Weekly was informed by Cullman softball assistant Tiffani Schwaiger that games were to be moved to the Cullman High campus for the facility is now field turf.
