Rained out

No surprise here, but all the local sporting events for today have been postponed. It looks like the rain will continue all night and possibly into tomorrow. Let's hope all the games for tomorrow can at least be played.

The problem with a lot of rain like this is usually baseball and softball fields. Even after the rain stops, the fields often take another day or two to fully drain. Four out of five local baseball teams are scheduled to play tomorrow. 

The big match-up is Miller Place against Harborfields. The three-game set kicks off at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Miller Place with Game 2 switching to Harborfields at 4 p.m. Wednesday. The finale is set for 4:30 p.m. Thursday back at Miller Place. Both teams enter the series with 8-1 League VI records. The Panthers have just one loss so far this season in non-league and are 11-1 overall. Taking two of three would be huge boost down the stretch for the League VI title, which would almost guarantee a top-four seed to move into the double elimination part of the playoff bracket.

Rocky Point plays three with Amityville. The Warriors are 0-12 in league. If the Eagles can sweep the series they'd move to 10-2 coming down the stretch and would likely be tied for first with either Harborfields or Miller Place. The Eagles then end the season with three against Miller Place and Shoreham-Wading River. The Wildcats, now 6-3 in league, could use a sweep of East Hampton this week to stay in the race. The Bonackers, who beat Shoreham last year in the postseason, are 3-9 in league as of Monday.
