Sea Dogs postponed for second straight night

The Portland Sea Dogs’ game against the Binghamton Mets on Wednesday night was postponed by inclement weather for a second straight day, resulting in two doubleheaders next month.

Tuesday’s game, which was postponed by heavy rain, will be made up May 21 beginning at 5 p.m.

The overnight snow created unplayable field conditions for Wednesday’s game, which will be played May 19 at 5 p.m.

Tickets dated for the regularly scheduled games are good for both games of each doubleheader.
