Turlock was in the midst of an unseasonable warm spell today, with the temperature reaching 98F this afternoon. Thunderstorms developed to the east over the Sierra Nevada this afternoon. I didn't chase these though. Instead I went over to Pedretti Park this evening to watch my brother Matt "Bern" and his friend Chris "Skool Bird" play some beer league softball. The game was a little painful to watch; I was amazed how hard some of these guys made it look trying to hit a 12 mph underhand lob. Bern and Skool Bird did OK though. They should have, as they've had years of practice hitting those types of pitches off me.....

Bern hits a 46 hopper up the middle to raise his batting average to .836
	Skool Bird hits a ball which could have been a home run......at the silo at his dad's farm.....
Remains of the thunderstorms which brought a couple of sprinkles and an 11 mph wind gust to the Sierra Nevada earlier in the day drifted west, producing a nice cirrus shield over Turlock at sunset.
