Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
(Allentown, Pa.) - Sunday's game between the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and the Syracuse Chiefs has been shifted to 7:05 p.m. The game was initially scheduled for 5:35 p.m. but has been changed due to the threat of the remnants of Hurricane Irene.
Current weather reports expect the rain to subside by early afternoon on Sunday and the winds to secede shortly thereafter. The 7:05 p.m. start time provides more fans the opportunity to arrive safely at Coca-Cola Park in addition to both teams that will be traveling in advance of the game.
The possibility of an additional game time change or even a postponement still exists should Sunday's forecast change. The IronPigs encourage all fans and personnel to check ironpigsbaseball.com or the club's official Facebook and Twitter pages for additional updates.
