NASHUA – The evening sky had cycled through a plethora of colors, settling on red, purple and black when a menacing bolt of lightning shattered the stillness above Holman Stadium.

The light spider-webbed its way through the clouds above, much like the effect a foul ball’s impact would have on the windshield of an unsuspecting parked car.

“We just reset the clock,” someone in the stands said, sarcasm and frustration dripping from each word.

The clock was reset too many times to count Friday during a 90-minute lightning delay that postponed the conclusion of the Senior Babe Ruth Southern League tournament championship game to 9:30 a.m. today at the stadium.

When play resumes, the Salem Cardinals and Nashua Chiefs will be tied 4-4 with one out in the top of the seventh inning, with runners on second and third for the Cardinals.

The maddening part is, it could have ended earlier.
