The Kansas City Monarchs were set to open their series with the Sioux Falls at 1 p.m. Monday, May 31, but the weather had other plans. After a morning’s worth of rain and a 55-minute delay, the game was postponed to Tuesday, June 1.
The Monarchs will now play a double-header of two seven-inning games against the Canaries with a first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. for the first game and the first pitch of the second game coming approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one.
Tickets purchased for the May 31 game will be accepted for the June 1 make-up game or for any 2021 regular season home game.
Gates will open at 4 p.m. June 1 and Tyler’s Amazing Balancing Act will perform during the second game of the doubleheader.
Tuesday’s double-header can be heard on the Monarchs Broadcast Network with the pre-game beginning at 4:35 p.m. and the video stream will air on aabaseball.tv. The game can also be heard locally on 1510 ESPN Kansas City.
