Fogged out

It is rare, but the fog sometimes rolls into Hadlock Field. It is usually light, and does not last for long.

If Norwich was so lucky. The Eastern League All-Star game has just been canceled in the third inning because the fog is too thick, and it is not going anywhere.

The game should not have been started, but officials were hoping for some kind of miracle. No chance. Outfielders stood still when balls were hit, not having a clue where they were.

One other All-Star note: former Sea Dogs outfielder Brandon Moss homered in the Triple-A All-Star Game.
