Clearwater Threshers ready for ball after Debby floods field | News

CLEARWATER, Florida - What a difference a day makes for the Clearwater Threshers.

While the Single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies may not have a dry clubhouse yet, their Bright House Networks Field is bone-dry less than 24 hours after it sat several feet under water after Tropical Storm Debby pounded the area with rain all weekend.

"Great drainage," said one member of the front office, who still had his hands full trying to dry out puddles in the clubhouse and first-floor offices.
