Scranton finally plays, hits town after late night on its wrecked field
They actually played baseball Monday night in Moosic, Pa. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees swept a doubleheader from Pawtucket that ended at 12:22 a.m. because the first game lasted 11 innings and went 4 hours, 4 minutes. But even though the Baby Yanks got those games in, there's still huge concern about conditions at PNC Field.
International League President Randy Mobley weighed in on the issue in this Scranton Times story by esteemed colleague Chad Jennings. Some of you asked in yesterday's post where the Yanks could play and this story seems to indicate the options are Syracuse, Lehigh Valley and Binghamton if games need to be rescheduled.
Reading Shelley Duncan's Twitter space, it looks like the bus didn't pull into the Adam's Mark until about 6:30 a.m. today Yeesh. Maybe an exhausted opponent is what the Bisons need to finally do something at home. We'll see how things go when they meet the Yankees tonight at 7 in Coca-Cola Field.
