Rains wash out games at Rizal baseball field

Manila, Philippines - Heavy rains Friday rendered the Rizal Memorial baseball field unplayable, forcing Baseball Philippines to cancel yesterday’s scheduled Series 8 semifinal matches.

 Weather permitting, the matches pitting Manila against Taguig and Cebu versus Batangas will be held today with the Sharks facing off with the Patriots at 9 a.m. and the Dolphins taking on the Bulls at 1 p.m.

 The Sharks and the Dolphins, who took the top two spots in the semis, need only to win once over their respective rivals to arrange a title showdown in the league organized by Community Sports Inc. and sponsored by Gatorade and Rawlings with Harbour Centre, The Heritage Park, Emperador Distillers, Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Victory Liner and Clark Development Corp. as backers.

 The league is also supported by Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Amateur Baseball Association, Philippine Umpires Association and DZSR Sports Radio 918.
