BUT I CAN PASS ALONG SOME GOOD NEWS. THAT YOU ARE RIGHT. TODAY IS LOOKING LIKE A NICER DAY OF WEATHER WITH SOME SUNSHINE AND MUCH LOWER RAIN CHANCES. THE GRASSHOPPERS IN THE DASH HAD GAME SCHEDULED YESTERDAY THAT WERE POSTPONED. ROCKERS ALSO HAD TO POSTPONE THEIR GAME YESTERDAY AND UNFORTUNATELY MISSED OUT ON SOME RACING AT BOWMAN GRAY TOO BECAUSE OF THE WET TRACK. BUT THE HOPPERS AND DASH WILL MAKE UP THAT SECOND GAME TODAY AND PLAY A DOUBLEHEADER. FIRST PITCH AT 1230 LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
