Opener Rained Out in Woburn, Chiefs Host Merchants Friday at 6
Woburn, MA- Heavy thunderstorms and severe weather hit the Woburn area late this afternoon causing the postponement of the Chiefs-Tanners game at Ferullo Field.
Tanners manager Bob DeNapoli made the decision to postpone the game shortly after 6:00 PM. "Unless we want to wear hip boots there is no way we could play at Ferullo tonight", said DeNapoli. "It is a shame because the weather is clearing and the field drains well, but there was just too much water in a short period of time", added the veteran manager.
The Chiefs will now have to wait another day to open the 2010 season. They are scheduled to host the Wakefield Merchants at Tufts University on Friday at 6:00 PM.
With rain disrupting the opener and previously set pitching rotation, it is uncertain who the Chiefs will now send to the mound Friday. Mike DiCato was scheduled to start at Woburn with southpaw Dylan Ellis penciled in on Friday.
No make-up date for the Chiefs-Tanners game has been set.
