SPORTS BRIEF: Baseball and softball forced back to benches as both games postponed

The baseball and softball squads both faced an insurmountable challenge today: the weather. Conditions prevented either game from taking place this afternoon.

The baseball game was rescheduled after it was postponed yesterday due to both snow and rain. Today it was the ground rather than the sky that made the impact, as the field became simply unplayable.

Both sets of diamond dwellers were slated to take the field at 3 p.m. yesterday, baseball at O’Donnell Field against Holy Cross and softball in Chestnut Hill, Mass., against Boston College. Neither school has announced a makeup date for the game, each will presumably be scheduled for later in the season.

The teams will be back in action Saturday, as the women take on Princeton in N.J. and the men do the same at O’Donnell field.
