Rain prevails at softball tournament, forces postponement

The only defeat ITD’s Road Rage team suffered at the State Employee Softball Tournament Saturday (May 22) came not from the opposition, but from the weather. Winner of its first two tournament games, Road Rage was on track for a title showdown until relentless rain/sleet forced postponement of the tournament. The Boise area received more than an inch of rain amid afternoon temperatures in the upper 30s.

Ruth Munoz, a member of ITD’s second tournament entry, Road Warriors, said softball will resume later this summer, perhaps in August, but the date has not been determined. The Road Warriors split their first two games and still are in the hunt for consolation honors if they win the remainder of their games.

ITD’s Road Rage and Road Warriors were among the 24 teams representing 30 state government departments/agencies that took the field at Boise’s Willow Park.
