FISHKILL, NY --- Rain continues to play havoc with the Vermont Lake Monsters schedule as its New York-Penn League game against the Hudson Valley Renegades on Thursday night was postponed due to rain during that day that left the Dutchess Stadium unplayable.The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Friday evening at Hudson Valley beginning at 5:00 p.m. The two teams are then scheduled to continue the series with three games at Vermont on Saturday at 4:05 p.m., Sunday at 5:05 p.m. and Monday at 7:05 p.m. (weather permitting of course) at historic Centennial Field.
Thursday's rainout was the third in the last week for the Lake Monsters and the second in three days. Vermont's first rainout came on Friday, June 26th at Centennial against the Oneonta Tigers and was made up on June 27th as part of a doubleheader. The Lake Monsters were then rained out at Tri-City on Tuesday and that game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on August 22nd.
The postponement at Hudson Valley on Thursday comes a night after the teams sat through a two and a half hour rain delay before first pitch at 9:45 p.m. in an 8-2 Lake Monsters victory that ended at 12:55 a.m Thursday morning.
