The Braves' game Sunday with Aldie was postponed because the field at John Champe H.S. was aerated.
ALDIE – The Staunton Braves have had plenty of games postponed this season by bad weather and one suspended by a power failure at John Moxie Memorial Stadium.
The Braves on Sunday added a new reason to the list when their scheduled contest at the Aldie Senators had to be scrubbed because of unplayable field conditions. The reason for the unplayable field? Someone aerated the baseball field at John Champe High School, where the Senators play.
The Braves, who have won five of their last seven games to get within one victory of reaching the .500 mark, hope to continue what was supposed to be a four-game road swing Monday with a makeup contest at first-place Front Royal.
They end the trip Tuesday in Waynesboro with a game against the rival Generals.
