(Reading, PA) - Following the postponement of the Thursday, August 27 game, the Reading Fightin Phils and Binghamton Rumble Ponies will play a doubleheader on Saturday, August 29. The first pitch of game one is scheduled for 4 p.m., and both games will be seven innings. Friday, August 28, will remain a single game at 6:45 p.m. as scheduled.
Gates to FirstEnergy Stadium will open at 3:45 p.m., and the full seating bowl will open then as well.
