Somewhere under the rainbow at Meier Field

At the plate, senior Braxton Waller tries put the ball in play during a brief moment of sunshine and a rainbow over Meier Field on Thursday after four innings of light drizzle during St. Joseph-Ogden's home baseball game against Mattoon. The Spartans held off a late rally by the Green Wave to win their 29th contest of the season, 7-5. SJO plays at home again hosting the Salt Fork Storm on Saturday at 10am.

SJO plays its next two contests on the road, starting with Pontiac on Thursday and a doubleheader at Illinois Valley Central on Saturday.
