The second game of the Valley Blue Sox’s first round NECBL playoff series against the Newport Gulls was postponed Friday due to weather. The game is now Saturday at 1:05 p.m. Gates at MacKenzie Stadium open at noon and admission is free.
No. 7 Valley scored five runs in the first inning against No. 2 Newport in the first game of the series on Thursday, but the Gulls scored eight runs in the seventh to win 10-8. The Blue Sox will be eliminated from the playoffs with a loss on Saturday. An if necessary Game 3 would be Sunday in Newport at 6:30 p.m.
Last year, Valley won the West Division but lost their first round series to the Bristol Blues in three games after winning the first game. Bristol lost to Newport in the NECBL Championship Series.
