Rains leave in time for Biscuits-Barons

The tarp is off and the grounds crew is busily at work preparing the (still quite moist) field for tonight's game. The Barons, perhaps believing there would be a rainout, made a late departure on the bus commute from Hoover and arrived about 5:20.

Current radar has a small storm around Maplesville that is headed this way and another in western Autauga County that should go to the south.
