The CCC softball schedule was altered once again due to the weather in the Willamette Valley, as Saturday's double header between Corban and Concordia has been postponed.
Corban-Concordia Postponed, Make-up TBD
SALEM, Ore. – Corban University's fourth-year head softball coach Nathan Ohta announced Friday that tomorrow's Cascade Collegiate Conference double header against nationally-ranked Concordia has been postponed due to the amount of rain in the forecast.
"Having already received nearly one inch of rain over the past 24 hours along with the 40% chance of rain tomorrow, the possibility of getting our field ready to play was not looking good," said Ohta. "We are hoping to make-up both games against the Cavaliers, as these two contests could be crucial in helping us advance to the postseason."
Tomorrow will be the second straight day that Concordia had a game postponed due to the weather, while Saturday's twin bill was the only games scheduled this week for Corban.
The Warriors will now have to wait until Tuesday, April 19th, before taking the field again versus conference rival Northwest Chrisitan in a mid-afternoon double header beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Warrior Field in Salem. Meanwhile, Concordia will not return to the diamond until Friday, April 22nd, at Eastern Oregon beginning at 2:00 p.m. in La Grande.
Between the two teams, 30 games this season have been affected by the weather with Corban either losing games or switches sites 13 times and Concordia having 17 of its games altered for one reason or another.
