 After sweeping the New Jersey Jackals over the weekend, the Tri-City Valleycats open a series tonight vs. the Empire State Greys at Bruno Stadium. 1st pitch at 6:30.

The Albany Dutchmen and Utica Blue Sox may need to find some place with a retractable roof.

Two games have been rained out in Guilderland, and Sunday's doubleheader in Utica was suspended before the Blue Sox could bat in their half of the 3rd inning in game 2, leading Albany, 1-0, after the Dutchmen won the 1st game. The Dutchmen are in Oneonta tonight to play the Outlaws with a 6 pm start.
