The NSI Minor League Report: Even A Hovering Helicopter Couldn't Save Another Postponement In Scranton

Sunday July 5



It was a beautiful day in Scranton, but the game was postponed for the 4th time in two weeks (non rain postponements). The team even had a helicopter hover over the field for an hour, trying to drain the field, to no avail. The team is rumoured to be looking at playing their games in nearby Lehigh Valley or Syracuse (1 and 2 hours away respectively). This is setting back the development of prospects like Austin Jackson and the pitching staffs.
