The Saint Mary's softball team got an unexpected week off and will reopen conference play with its first league home game at Saint Mary's against Alma.

After heavy rains Monday, Tuesday's game at Calvin was rained out and rescheduled to Wednesday.

When the Belles walked out to board their bus Wednesday morning to travel to Calvin, Saint Mary's head coach John Ganeff informed them that the game was canceled again and that they were to report to practice at 4 p.m. instead.

"They weren't able to get enough umpires from the league," junior catcher Susan Kutz said. "The game won't be rescheduled this week, because Calvin has a game tomorrow. We will probably play them next week."

Kutz and her teammates had a good practice Wednesday afternoon but had really looked forward to the game.

"We were all really frustrated that the game was canceled again, but you have to go with the flow," Kutz said.
