Saints reschedule postponed dates, play 4 home games this weekend
MANISTEE — Sunday’s suspended Gratiot County Baseball League games in Manistee between the Manistee Saints and the Fulton Sultans will be played Aug. 2.
The first game, suspended in the bottom of the fifth inning, will be resumed at that point with Fulton leading 3-1. The second game will be played in its entirety following the completion of the first game.
This weekend, the Saints open a four-game home stand Saturday, hosting the Northern Michigan Patriots in a non-league doubleheader at Reitz Park beginning at 1 p.m.
The Saints will attempt to extend their nine-game winning streak, backed by a stingy defense and solid pitching.
On Sunday, the Saints return to GCBL league play, hosting the Carson City Eagles in their annual Hall of Fame Day, which honors Saints players from the last ninety years. Game time is again at 1 p.m. with door prizes throughout the day.
