Braxton McCurley, 5, from left, Landry Tweedle, 4, and Dalton Malone, 5, run through puddles early Friday evening shortly after the start of the 2009 Governor’s Cup. Despite steady rain, the youth baseball tournament at Halls Ferry Park commenced as planned and eventually saw clearing skies and even a rainbow. Braxton is the son of David and Tammy McCurley. Landry is the son of Ashley and Felicia Tweedle. Dalton, of Forest, La., is Landry’s cousin. (Katie Carter*The Vicksburg Post)
