Rain Suspends Play at Babe Ruth World Series in Clifton Park

Rain moved in and stayed Saturday night, suspending play of the Babe Ruth 13-15-year-old World Series at Clifton Common.

Play was suspended at the top of the fourth inning of the South Colonie Versus Youngstown, Ohio with the scored tied 2-2.

The volunteers staff moved quickly to cover the infield with the inclement weather tarp to protect the newly installed infield grass and playing surface.
