Steamers, Generals Washed Away
June 29, 2013 - Coastal Plain League (Coastal Plain)
Edenton Steamers News Release
EDENTON, N.C- The Edenton Steamers (20-6) and the Petersburg Generals (4-20) double header at Historic Hicks Field on Saturday night has been canceled due to inclement weather in the area.
After last night's rain-shortened game in Edenton, combined with continuous rain all night and into the morning, Hicks Field could not take it.
The double header will not be made up due to the fact that it was the last time in the first half that Edenton and Petersburg were due to meet.
The Steamers are back in action on Monday, July 1st against the Peninsula Pilots in Hampton, V.A to begin the Coastal Plain League's second half.
The Edenton Steamers are a proud member of the Coastal Plain League, the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 17th season in 2013, the CPL features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts.
Furthermore, the CPL has had over 1,000 alumni drafted and 63 alums - including 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander -make their Major League debut thus far.
