Florida Spring Training Trip 2016 - Day 48

We had a line of thunderstorms move through the area last night with lightning, thunder, strong winds and lots of rain.  It was cloudy this morning and  a pretty good line of thunderstorms came through again early this afternoon.  When we left for the game at 4:30 pm it wasn't raining, but it was still overcast with more rain in the forecast.

The field was uncovered when we arrived at the ballpark and it was still cloudy with a threatening sky.  The rain held off however and by sunset at 7:30 pm the threat of rain subsided and we had a beautiful night for baseball.  The temperature was 75 degrees, no wind and little humidity.

It was a good game against the Toronto Blue Jays, with a lot of Canadian visitors and locals in attendance.  Both the Phillies and the Blue Jays had most of their primary players in the game and the lead went back and forth.  The Phillies came back to tie the game at 4-4 which was where it ended as extra innings are not normally played in Spring Training.

We were back in the RV by 10:00 pm and it will be a short turnaround as there is another game against Detroit tomorrow afternoon at 1:05 pm.

The forecast for the weekend is for more unsettled weather, so weather watching will be in order.
