Not only was Tropical Storm Cindy responsible for the cancellation of Tuesday's Southern League All-Star Game, but now the storm has also resulted in the cancellation of Thursday night's game at AT&T Field with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
The First Half North Division Champion Lookouts announced that Thursday's (6/22) game has been postponed due to inclement weather, unplayable field conditions and Tropical Storm Cindy.
The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday, June 25 beginning at 4:15 p.m. with gates opening at 3:30 p.m. Both games of the doubleheader will be seven innings. Due to the doubleheader and the expected later end time we will not hold Sunday's post-game autograph session.
Tickets from Thursday's game are exchangeable for any remaining 2017 Lookouts home game and can be exchanged at the RE/MAX Properties Ticket Office anytime during the 2017 season.
Friday's game is Agriculture Night presented by Hamilton County Farm Bureau at AT&T Field with post-game Fireworks. The homestand continues on Saturday with another Fireworks Night and Star Wars Night presented by the Hydrocephalus Association at 7:15 p.m.
