Rainy conditions throughout the day Tuesday have forced the Red Deer Riggers to reschedule their playoff opener.

Originally, they were set to host the Sherwood Park Athletics in game 1 of the Sunburst Baseball League semifinal on Tuesday at Great Chief Park.

As it stands, game 2 of the series is set for Wednesday in Sherwood Park, with game 3 if necessary back in Red Deer on Thursday at Great Chief Park.

In the 2017 playoffs, the Riggers and Athletics were rained out in game 2 of their best-of-five series.

More to come.
