Tuesday may be next day in greater Chattanooga area without rainHeavy rain keeps greater Chattanooga farmers out of fields
Splish splash, the Chattanooga Lookouts have taken an early bath.
Sunday afternoon’s series finale between the Lookouts and the Birmingham Barons at AT&T Field was scratched due to unsafe field conditions following the recent abundance of rain. Thursday night’s game was postponed and made up as part of two seven-inning games Saturday night, and Friday night’s contest was delayed nearly half an hour by rain.
The Lookouts, who are off to a 6-3 start, do not play at AT&T Field again until April 30, so this was Chattanooga’s lone homestand of the month.
“April is historically a very good month for us,” Lookouts president and general manager Rich Mozingo said Sunday. “We came into this season without a lot of April dates, and to have the weather we’ve had on top of it makes this very tough. It’s a tough way to start the season.”
