Mother Nature has been one of the only things capable of slowing down the Valley Blue Sox recently.
The club sits second in the NECBL Southern Division standings with a 13-8 record entering Wednesday, but their recent slate of games have been heavily impacted by weather. Four of the team’s previous six games were postponed as a result, including Tuesday night’s tilt against Bristol.
The team will finally get back to the field, weather permitting, Thursday night when it hosts the Southern-leading Newport Gulls at Mackenzie Stadium in Holyoke at 6:35 p.m. The night will feature a 9 Innings of Winning promotion, where a prize will be raffled off to a randomly drawn fan every inning.
