Bowling Green Hot Rods News Release
Bowling Green, KY - Due to damages suffered during severe thunderstorms on Thursday, the Bowling Green Hot Rods announced that they will be broadcasting the series this weekend against the Great Lakes Loons on an online-only stream through Streamguys.
The Hot Rods radio affiliate, WBGN Bowling Green (Willie 107.9/AM1340), suffered damage during a collection of thunderstorms that hit Southcentral Kentucky on Thursday.
Those storms cancelled the Hot Rods series finale against the West Michigan Whitecaps.
For the next three days, the Hot Rods will be broadcasting exclusively on a stream provided by Streamguys, a site dedicated to minor league baseball broadcasts.
"We really appreciate Streamguys helping us out on such short notice," said Hot Rods Manager of Media and Broadcasting Alex Cohen.
"We also really appreciate the understanding of our fans. We hope they know that there are a number of minor league teams that do their broadcast solely via Streamguys, and that we are in good hands for this weekend."
Below is the stream that you can listen to the Hot Rods this weekend.
