MIDLAND - Saturday night's Texas League contest between Corpus Christi and Midland was cancelled due to rain and poor field conditions at Security Bank Ballpark.
With this being the final meeting between the two clubs in the first half, the game will not be made up.
Frisco knocked off San Antonio, 3-1, to force a split of that series at Dr Pepper Ballpark, putting the Hooks a half game back of the Missions with two to play in the TL South first-half race.
Corpus Christi (41-26) and San Antonio (42-26) begin a four-game set tomorrow afternoon at 4:05. The Hooks need to win the first two contests to claim the first-half title.
Friday's series finale in Midland was halted in the top of the fifth due to a heavy rain. Corpus Christi was leading, 9-8, and had the bases loaded with one out. The deluge continued for an hour and a half, rendering the playing surface unplayable.
