Field not well for SML

Posted on Aug 24 2005

Just as the championship series of the Saipan Major League was heating up, Mother Nature dealt a soaking blow yesterday to derail Game 2 between the Northern Yankees and the Ford Rangers.

According to league coordinator Tony Rogolifoi, the series was postponed yet again due conditions termed as less than ideal. The field has yet to completely recover from several days of rains last week, and yesterday’s precipitation failed to aid the situation.

With a little luck and aeration, the best-of-five series will continue tonight at Francisco M. Palacios field at 6pm with Game 3 to follow this Saturday, Aug. 27.

If the rain continues to fall, Game 2 will be moved to tomorrow night.

After wining the pennant and eliminating the Budweiser Kings in the opening round of the playoffs, the Yankees took a huge step toward regaining their 2003 title Monday night as they edged the Rangers by a pair of runs to take Game 1, 4-2. They will gain a strangle hold on the Rangers if they can win their second in a row tonight.
