It has been confirmed that this Sunday’s National Baseball League game between the Herts Falcons and the South London Pirates has been moved to Sunday, 11 August. The venue, Roundshaw Park in Croydon, remains unchanged.
While the Falcons and the Pirates rest this weekend, 6 other teams are in action. The London Mets travel to the Lakenheath Diamondbacks. If they win both games they would be tied at the top with the Falcons. Southampton also have a chance to go neck and neck with Herts if they sweep against the Harlow Nationals in their doubleheader. That will not be easy as the Nationals appear to have regained the form which saw them win the NBL championship in the last two seasons.
