It is still raining over Hadlock Field. It is expected to stop at around 7 p.m. The Portland Sea Dogs game will hopefully start between 7:30 and 8:15 p.m.

For those who remember that nightmarish rainout on Aug. 3 (when the sun was out, but the field was soaked), the Sea Dogs have improved the drainage in right field (basically fixing a pipe that had been blocked).
