The Hockaday School



Today's game took us to Dallas for a game against The Hockaday School.  It is an all girls boarding prep school.  The fields and facilities were absolutely top notch.  When we began the game it was hot and sunny, the air was filled with the smell of sun screen.  Mom's broke out the sun umbrellas, then with one gust of wind the temperature dropped fifteen degrees.  The girls got in three innings before the severe weather sirens went off.  

Both teams were ushered into to the athletic building to ride out the next thirty minutes.  The skies became dark, areas around us were being pelleted with baseball size hail!  Where we were, we never even saw one drop of rain, but it was close enough to set off the sirens around the ball fields.  When the game resumed we were able to get in three more innings, finishing out with Chargers on top 11-1!  

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

    for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

    till the storms of destruction pass by.

Psalm 57:1
