Phillies reschedule Saturday night game

Published November 20, 2014

The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Friday that Saturday night's game against the Florida Marlins has been rescheduled due to the threat posed by Hurricane Irene.

That contest, which was originally scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. (et) start, will be played on September 15 at a time yet to be determined.

"Given the deteriorating forecast for Saturday night's game, as well as the evening shut down of public transportation and the concern about conditions our fans might face leaving our game late Saturday night, the decision was made to postpone the 7:05 p.m. game," said Phils senior vice president Mike Stiles.

Saturday afternoon's contest -- which had already been moved up from Sunday afternoon due to Irene -- and was set for a 1:05 p.m. (et) start, will still be played as scheduled.
