Nina, Coach Greep explore math, space,
and physics during Beach League rainout
Rain. There's nothing worse for softball. With so much dirt in the sport, it can kill a field when it is not even raining any more. So it has gone for Wesley Wolverine sophomore catcher Nina Marcano (Townsend, DE) these past 48 hours.

“Today brought another rain out,” texted Wesley Head Coach Juli Greep, who is visiting Nina at The Beach League, SC, summer games. “So we spent the day enjoying some of what Myrtle Beach has to offer.”
What they scouted out may end up on the Wesley Wolverines' 2015 docket when the team typically plays a 10 game schedule in the resort town next spring.
It is WonderWorks, which Coach Greep describes as an “indoor amusement park and museum” that houses interactive exhibits on the themes of space, physics and math. It's just what Wesley's Academic Affairs might place on the calendar for a traveling softball team's leisure time.

“We might have to check out WonderWorks as a team next spring,” wrote Coach Greep. “I think the girls would really enjoy it.”
Wonderworks' slogan asks its guest to "Let Your Imagination Run Wild" and that just what Nina and Coach Greep did as they, amongst many activities, investigated an authentic space suit replica, examined a simulated dinosaur skeleton jaw, and applied their softball skills to virtual sports games.

After that it was a game of miniature gold and dinner for the coach and player. Nice day for a rain out!
“It appears the weather might be cooperating a touch more tomorrow,” Coach Greep added. “I'm hoping to see a game at 2:00 PM before I head out of town.”
Let's all hope for softball on Wednesday!
