Rare Oakland Rainout Rests Splinters

The Oakland Jacks saw a rare rainout today as they prepared to host the Boston Splinters. Whitey Ford was set to take the mound against Gaylord Perry. Now they’ll face off tomorrow. The game has been rescheduled for May 27th, which had been a scheduled off-day for both teams before their season-ending series before the post-season. The extra day off could be just what the Splinters need. They came to Oakland riding a 4-game losing streak. Ted Williams was also scheduled to miss the game due to a nagging injury but will likely play tomorrow.
