The rains came to the West Orange County area over the past two weeks and scrambled the schedules for area high school baseball and softball teams.

Now that Mother Nature has let up and provided some sunshine, games are back underway although athletic directors and coaches are poring over iPads and clipboards to figure out just how to patch together their game dates for the rest of the season.
