The rain came down. The temperature soared into the 50s. Then the flashes of lightning stung my eyes. Next came the roar of thunder. The ice at Fenway Park puddled up. The puck splashed and skipped. The crowd huddled under the overhangs of the grandstand. Somehow, a hockey game happened and my cameras didn’t quit in the deluge. Maine’s Black Bears won 7-3 over Boston University.
