Young soccer players from the Saline FC program joined the Saline boys' varsity soccer team on the field Tuesday night. The youngsters joined the team in a pre-game circle and then got a fist bump from Saline head coach Conner Williams before joining the varsity players during pre-game introductions on the field.
Saline began its game against Monroe in fine fashion - forcing a corner kick just 2:25 into the game.
Michael Bryant played the ball in and Juan Balda kicked it out of the air and into the goal for the 1-0 lead.
Just two minutes later the game was halted due to lightning.
A little more than 30 minutes the teams emerged and warmed up - but lighting was spotted again and the teams returned to shelter. Eventually, the game was canceled.
