For the second time this season, weather has thrown a wrench into the Arizona Fall League’s schedule.
In October, remnants of a hurricane necessitated the league turn night games into a day games and postponed two days of action, including a scheduled tripleheader in Tucson.
Now, the league has moved up its playoff schedule in order to avoid forecasted wet conditions in the Phoenix area over the weekend.
Originally, the AFL playoffs were supposed to take place from Nov. 13-15 at Scottsdale Stadium and Salt River Fields. After the shuffle, the updated slate looks like this:
Wednesday, Nov. 12 at Scottsdale Stadium
- No. 6 Salt River Rafters vs. No. 3 Mesa Solar Sox: 1:30 p.m. MST/3:30 p.m. ET
- No. 5 Glendale Desert Dogs vs. No. 4 Peoria Javelinas: 6:30 p.m. MST/8:30 p.m. ET
Thursday, Nov. 13 at Salt River Fields
- No. 2 Surprise Saguaros vs. No. 3/6 Winner: 1:30 p.m. MST/3:30 p.m. ET
- No. 1 Scottsdale Scorpions vs. No. 4/5 Winner: 6:30 p.m. MST/8:30 p.m. ET
The AFL championship game will still be played on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Salt River Fields at 8 p.m. ET/6 p.m. MST. The game will be broadcast on MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com.
