SML weather woes wear on

When it comes to the championship of the Saipan Major League Baseball Association, there is both good news and bad news for fans of the Commonwealth’s top caliber clubs.
The good news is that the pennant winning Northern Yankees and the Ford Rangers are locked in a series that look to be as close as any following Game 1 on Monday evening. The bad news is that there haven’t been any games played since the beginning of the week due to poor weather.
The trend continued last night when village basketball games around Saipan shared the fate of the hardballers at Francisco M. Palacios Field when the rain fell from San Antonio to Santa Lourdes.
If the sun and heat can deal the rain a defeat this afternoon, Game 2 of the best-of-five series will be held tonight at Francisco M. Palacios field at 6pm with Game 3 to follow on Monday, Aug. 29.
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.
