The Okotoks Dawgs were set to host the Fort McMurray Giants for a doubleheader on Monday night (July 28), but the games didn’t end up happening.
The matchups were originally scheduled for July 22 but were postponed due to rain.
Rain played a role in Monday’s cancellation too, though for a different reason.
Just before 5 p.m., the Dawgs posted on Facebook announcing that the Giants had forfeited, and that fans would instead be treated to a Dawgs vs. Dawgs matchup.
The WCBL website lists both games as "Away forfeits."
According to the Giants, wet field conditions posed a risk to player safety, and they refused to take the field as a result.
They also posted a video showing wet patches of grass and stated that the games are under protest with the WCBL.
