Despite rain and scheduling difficulties, the 2017 McCaffrey Memorial tournament is underway and on schedule at Hammer field.
Saturday's action started with the Greenfield 12U team falling to Baldwin-Whitehall, but then took a long hiatus as the two middle games were decided by forfeit.
The first scheduled afternoon game pitted the South Hills "Wild Things" against Tri-Ward. The game got out of hand early and ended in the fourth inning with the Wild Things taking the ten-run-rule victory.
To accomodate the schedules of both teams, the Wild Things and Baldwin-Whitehall were penciled in to play their match-up Saturday night instead of Sunday.
In-between, all these different games, the field crew was hard at work, tarping and untarping, working the wet spots. They get an unofficial MVP for keeping the tournament on schedule as tourneys throughout the city were rained out or delayed.

The Wild Things jumped out on Baldwin-Whitehall early, hitting several home runs and tearing up the basepaths. Baldwin-Whitehall got the ball over the fence as well, but two Wild Things grand slams were too much.
