NEWPORT, R.I. — The Newport Gulls were set to play their final regular season home game on Monday night against the Mystic Schooners but due to poor playing conditions as a result of the rain, the game has been postponed to Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. The game will now be a 7-inning contest due to the fact that Mystic has an originally scheduled game at Ocean State on Tuesday night at 6:30.
Tuesday’s game could be Newport’s final contest of the regular season. The Gulls still don’t know if they will have to travel to Vermont on Wednesday for a tentative makeup game. Either way, Newport will host Game 1 of its first round playoff series at Cardines Field on Thursday against an opponent yet to be determined.
