— By the fifth inning, the eye black the players had smeared on their faces was smudging from the sweat. The Santa Fe High School baseball team, the Indians, played the Kingwood Park Panthers Saturday night. Rome Shubert, 16, one of Santa Fe’s pitchers, sat on a metal folding chair near the dugout for the opening pitch. Their playoff game that night had already been canceled, but their game on Saturday was still a question mark. All of the adults eventually stepped outside the meeting, leaving the boys on the team to debate among themselves whether to postpone Saturday’s game.
