BRUNSWICK — “Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day. We want to go outside and play. Come again some other day.”

Okay, this is what we’re up against: Mother Nature. So possibly another tune of “Rain, rain go away …” is in order.

Once again, Maine residents and student/athletes are paying dearly for the summer like conditions of a nottoo distant past.

Here in the Mid-coast region, athletic directors are scurrying to uncover available dates with soggy fields, bloated schedules and a paucity of officials, referees and umpires, huge obstacles.

There were only two baseball and softball games — Mt. Ararat at Brunswick — and they will be played Saturday at 10 a.m.

“We’re not going to cancel anything,’” said soon-to-beretired Mt. Ararat athletic director Colin Roy. “It’s a mess, but we’ve got every game covered. With the weather everything is day-today.”

Also, for Mt. Ararat, boys varsity lacrosse at home versus Edward Little will be played Thursday at 5:30 p.m. (no JVs), followed by the girls game with Messalonskee, which has been moved from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Boys and girls tennis with Brunswick was to be played Tuesday at Maine Pines Racquet and Fitness, with a 2 p.m. start against Mt. Ararat.

The Brunswick girls lacrosse team was to have traveled to Camden Hills and the game was shifted to Saturday only to be postponed to May 16 (4 p.m.) due to a lack of officials.

“It’s been crazy this spring,” said athletic director Gene Keene, “If the weather keeps up like this we’ll be in a lot worse shape. But, with our fields, we’re still in good shape.”

The Morse girls lacrosse game at home with Edward Little has been postponed, date and time to be announced later.

The Wiscasset tennis teams were to have played Monmouth with the girls match switched to May 10, while the boys matches will be made up at a later date.

Freeport had two lacrosse games on tap, with the boys still on the Yarmouth turf field last night (7 p.m.) and the girls contest with Waynflete at home switched to May 17.

As is the case almost every spring (and forget all about March and early April), keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
