Rain Rain Go Away: Postponements Plague Wakefield Sports

According to NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes, this spring has been the wettest in Massachusetts history with more than 15 inches of rain. And while that may be exciting for fans of weather-related statistics, for Wakefield High School athletes and fans, it's been more of a wet blanket. 

With downpours passing through the area on Monday, the Warriors' softball game at Watertown was rescheduled to today. But with more rain forecast, that game has been postponed again and is now TBA. Boys and girls tennis was also postponed yesterday, and along with boys and girls tennis today against Watertown and Melrose, is still TBA. 

Other games that have been postponed today include boys and girls track against Melrose, which has been rescheduled to Thursday, and varsity and JV baseball vs. Watertown, which will be played on Saturday. 

Boys varsity lacrosse vs. Melrose which was scheduled for today was pushed off to tomorrow at 7 p.m. along with JV boys lacrosse which will be played at 5 p.m. 

While some games have been rescheduled, however, the forecast for the rest of the week is not promising with a 70 percent chance of rain predicted until Friday. 

In fact, looking at the 10-day forecast on weather.com , you'd be hard-pressed to find any glimpse of sun until Sunday, so be sure check back with Wakefield Patch throughout the day today and tomorrow for updates on any further cancellations.
