HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Monarchs' game scheduled for tonight against the Derby Twins has been postponed due to unplayable field conditions at Hobart-Detter Field. Tonight marks the fourth game the Monarchs have had to postpone already this summer due to unplayable field conditions.
The 0.80" of rain the city of Hutchinson received overnight proved to be too much for the warning track at the ballpark to handle. According to Monarchs owner/GM Marc Blackim, the team put the tarp down over the infield around midnight after the team returned from Derby last night. Blackim says the infield looks great, but there is standing water on the warning track.
The Monarchs won the series opener against the Twins on Monday night at Hobart-Detter, but fell on the road in Derby last night. The Monarchs are scheduled to open up a three-game series against the Haysville Aviators, beginning Thursday night. The teams are scheduled to play in Hutchinson on Saturday night at 7 p.m. with the Monarchs hosting their annual Cancer Council game.
All Monarchs home games will be streamed with audio and video exclusively on Hutch Post. Sean Boston will provide the play-by-play.
