Forks doubleheader postponed

FORKS — A SWL-Evergreen Division doubleheader with Rochester couldn’t be played Monday because of a wet and muddy field in Forks despite just light rain that day.

The game was moved ahead from a scheduled Tuesday time to avoid heavy rain predicted to come into the area starting Tuesday, but the field just couldn’t be made playable in time Monday, Forks coach Scott Justus said.

The game probably wouldn’t be made up before spring break, which is next week for Forks.

The Spartans’ next scheduled game is after spring break.
