I thought they called it Mother Nature?
Well, she wasn't very nice to the Tillsonburg Ladies Slo-Pitch League as both nights of ladies action were rained out last week!
On the first night of ladies slo-pitch a silver ring was found at Annandale 3. If you have lost it, contact me directly or someone on the ladies slo-pitch executive.
Now, bring on the sunshine this week!
