Weather Wreaks Havoc On Minor League Schedule

Cold weather was the rule in the Midwest League (Class A) Friday night. Six of seven scheduled contests were postponed on account of either cold or snow. And the one game that was played -- between the Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers) and the South Bend Silver Hawks (Diamondbacks) -- began in 28 degree weather with 628 fans in the stands. And today's game between those two teams has already been called off.

Two games in the South Atlantic League (Class A) were postponed, too, due to snow.

At the Double A level, four of six Eastern League games were postponed for cold, snow, or wet fields due to snow. A Texas League doubleheader was also postponed.

Triple A lost five games. In the International League, four games, including a makeup doubleheader were postponed for snow or cold. The Pacific Coast League also had one game postponed because of cold weather.
