A Short Week

The Asheville Tourists and the South Atlantic League have been socked in by rain almost all week as the Tourists have only played 3 games since July 1st. They swept a "doubleheader" over Greensboro on July 2nd, 5-3 and 3-2, and lost to Rome on Friday night 3-1. The rest of the games were lost to rain including a doubleheader last night against Rome. They have another doubleheader scheduled today against Rome. They return home against Delmarva on Tuesday night. This amounts to a week off in the middle of a long baseball season and this can only help young players who might be hitting the proverbial wall and help a pitching staff rest some tired arms.
