THE BOYS OF SUMMER WON'T PLAY ON THURSDAY
The Snowville Nine Take the Field
What do you do when Mother Nature throws you a curve ball? Hadlock Field was all set for the Sea Dogs Opener on Thursday night, yet Mother Nature dumped a foot of snow on Portland. Although the Sea Dogs will not take the field on Thursday, baseball is still taking place. The second Snow Man Series in team histoRy will take place this afternoon. Sea Dogs staff members are doing all they can to have a little fun with a disappointing situation by building snow men in the nine positions on the field. The last time snow men took the field was in 2001.
