It’s Probably a good thing that I didn’t bring my knitting..

The scene at my softball game yesterday…

It’s the top of the sixth inning here at the Davenport ball field. Hartville leads Springfield 7-0, and Hartville is up to bat.

Harville has 1 out, and Denny is up at bat. The pitcher throws the ball.. its a strike.. wait.. wait a minute folks.. what’s that on the infield?? Holy cow.. this is a first.. it looks like a mini twister is kicking up the dust.. yes it is.. this is amazing! A dust devilabout 100 feet high is swirling on the infield between home plate and third..It’s picking up speed, and moving across the infield.. headed straight for the Hartville bleachers.. This is unbelievable folks! I’ve never seen anything like it.  

The Hartville team is scrambling for cover but this thing is just moving too fast for them to get out of the way. The twister is whipping through the team! Hats are flying, its pandemonium! It passed by and the team is covered with dust.. needless to say I wouldn’t be surprised if the team was a little rattled by this turn of events, otherwise everyone looks alright!

I didn’t get a picture (I was a bit busy) but this is about what it looked like!

I borrowed this pic to give you all a refence.. I was a little busy running toward the thing because I thought Caleb an Julian were in it’s path. But this is about what it looked like!
