It would not be spring in northern Nevada if Mother Nature did not put her two cents in.
The Lowry High School JV and varsity baseball teams hosted Spring Creek for a scrimmage on Saturday. Fierce winds and dust made it a little harder on the teams, but the two rivals got the necessary work in they needed.
The teams went through different scenarios during the day, starting each inning with runners on different bases. The count on the batter started at 1-1 to quicken up play.
The scrimmage went a bit longer than anticipated, as Lowry and Spring Creek attempted to get as many pitchers in the game as possible to get them work on the mound.
