T-Bones rained out Saturday, scheduled to play doubleheader today

The Kansas City T-Bones and the Cleburne Railroaders were rained out in the middle of the third inning because of unplayable field conditions Saturday night at T-Bones Stadium in Kansas City, Kansas. The skies opened and after an hour and half wait the game was suspended.

It has been a record setting spring and summer for rain fall in Kansas City. This is the sixth time the T-Bones have been rained out at T-Bones Stadium this season. The two teams will pick up the game at 1:05 p.m. and complete the first game and then play a seven-inning game on Sunday, following the completion of the first game.

Tickets for Saturday night’s game will be good for any future regular-season home game and may be exchanged at the Saint Luke’s box office at T-Bones Stadium for a ticket of equal or lesser value, subject to availability.

Full and half-season 2019 ticket packages as well as mini plans are on sale online or by calling 913-328-5618 or by visiting the Saint Luke’s Box Office between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Group ticket sales are also on sale.
