Those rooting for the home team only had one chance at bat to do so. With the sky above Busch Stadium turning as dark blue as Missouri’s jerseys, the clouds unleashed the rain shortly after [Missouri] Rep. Travis Fitzwater got the game’s one and only hit, landing him on second base.
But then, amidst the jubilant — if not slightly astonished — cheers from both dugouts (after all, Illinois’s pitcher finally got the ball across home plate), the annual Bi-State Softball Showdown between the Show-Me State and the Land of Lincoln came to an abrupt halt.
The game was rained out after just one opportunity at bat. […]
Illinois captain and state Rep. Jay Hoffman alleged the rain delay was directly caused by a “rain dance” from the Missouri team; his allegations could not be corroborated by this reporter.
It was fun while it lasted, which wasn’t long.
* The evening was not without “controversy”…
#BREAKINGNEWS, I've learned that the #twill team has lodged a formal complaint with @AustinWalker82 ("The Commissioner") regarding @Eric_Schmitt. They're arguing the slugger is not in the legislature and thus shouldn't be eligible.

Schmitt is Missouri’s attorney general. A ringer, in other words.
The St. Louis Regional Chamber really went all-out this year. They even had a brief fireworks show after the rain passed.

The most important question regarding all softball games: What brand(s) of beer was in the cooler?

and Illinois with an error, why am I not surprised

If MO was going to bring in a ringer they should have brought Gov. Greitens. With the way he can do pull ups, I bet he can hit the ball a mile. Big time.

Will the team be invited to the governors mansion?
Will they go?
What will they serve?
