Interleague play cancelled for this season
The Nova Scotia and New Brunswick senior baseball leagues have decided not to proceed with interleague play this season.
Having lost the interleague games scheduled for Nova Scotia last weekend because of rain, it was the intent of both leagues to make up as many games as possible this coming weekend. But the logistical hurdles of booking field times at venues that are being used by more than one organization proved too difficult to overcome.
"Several of our teams share their facilities with minor ball, junior and intermediate programs, and those groups have also been affected by the recent inclement weather," Nova Scotia senior league president/CAO Jody Jewers said. "So everyone is scrambling to reschedule games in addition to those that were booked at the start of the season. Tournaments are also booked on some of these fields on weekends, which cuts dramatically into the ability to reschedule weekend games."
In looking at both leagues' schedules for the remainder of the season, there wasn't enough of a window of opportunity to reschedule any more games in the event of rain. Both leagues require some of their members to play games against some teams exclusively on weekends, and in the event of rain on the July 11-12 weekend, when Nova Scotia teams were scheduled to visit New Brunswick, there was no backup date available that would be feasible for all clubs.
"The Sydney Sooners play exclusively on weekends, and several of the New Brunswick teams are also tied in to playing on weekends," Jewers added. "Both leagues have to make the completion of their schedules the top priority, and though interleague play remains a solid concept which we will continue to look at in future seasons, the one variable we can't control is the weather."
New Brunswick senior league president John Collins says it is unfortunate and disappointing for teams and fans of both leagues to have to put the project on the shelf for this season but understands it is necessary with the short ball season that is available.
"The lack of make-up dates has closed the window of opportunity for both leagues to be able to showcase the top level of ball to fans in both provinces," he said. "Hopefully next season interleague play will be able to resume."
"I know that our league enjoys the interlocking schedule and both leagues looked forward to playing each other."
Both leagues will be sending two teams to the Canadian senior baseball championship Aug. 20-23 in Dartmouth and Halifax.
Interleague play began in 2006. Seventy-four games have been played, with the series even at 37-37.
Friday, June 19
Interleague games postponed
With inclement weather forecast through this weekend, the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick senior baseball leagues have agreed to postpone all interleague play scheduled for Saturday and Sunday on diamonds in Nova Scotia.
The leagues will reschedule these games, and a revised schedule will be posted on this website once it is finalized. New Brunswick teams are scheduled to host Nova Scotia clubs the weekend of July 11-12.
This is the fourth season of interleague play between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Seventy-four interleague games have been played since 2006, with the series deadlocked at 37-37.

NSSBL season to begin May 22
The 32nd season of the Nova Scotia Senior Baseball League is set to begin May 22 at Memorial Park in Kentville. Formed in 1977, the NSSBL has been a summer staple on the provincial sports scene (there was no league play in 1984) and has produced four Canadian championship clubs.
All five teams from the 2008 season -- defending champion Halifax Pelham Canadians, the Dartmouth Moosehead Dry, Kentville Wildcats, Sydney Sooners and Truro Bearcats -- are back for this year. Interleague play against the four New Brunswick Senior Baseball League entries will continue this season, with Nova Scotia hosting New Brunswick on June 20-21, and New Brunswick hosting Nova Scotia on July 11-12. Summerside has taken a leave of absence from the New Brunswick Senior Baseball League this season.
The 28-game regular season is slated to end Aug. 11, with the top four regular-season finishers qualifying for the playoffs. The postseason winner will represent the league at the 2010 nationals. Each NSSBL team is also scheduled to play two exhibition games against the Nova Scotia Canada Games team to help it prepare for its competition during the second week of the Aug. 15-29 event in P.E.I.
Dartmouth will host the 2009 Canadian senior baseball championship Aug. 20-23, thereby receiving automatic entry. Halifax qualifies as the reigning NSSBL champion.
Jody Jewers of River Hebert was voted in as new NSSBL president/chief administrative officer at the league meeting in March, succeeding Jim McEachern of Sydney, who will continue to serve on the league executive as past-president and has assumed the role of head coach of the Sooners. The remainder of the league executive was elected to another one-year term. Returning to the league executive are Terry Dunbrack of Pictou (vice-president), Kay Sperdakes of Lower Sackville (secretary/treasurer), and Burton Russell of Kentville (statistician).
The schedule can be viewed by clicking on the "Schedules" and "Calendar" links on the left-hand side of the page.
