Cohen said he wasn't going to throw anyone under the bus but it was fine to play. They had an intrasquad. I think the coaches got into an arguement Saturday and Durham had enough. Cohen said he fine with calling it a forfiet.

From the SE Baseball website:

quote:

"We met at 11 am, the same time their team was supposed to take the tarp off," Durham said in an email. "There was still snow on areas in the outfield on top of the five inches of rain that we got Friday, which made it very saturated. They couldn't take the tarp off at that time because of the ice and snow still on the tarp. The umpires that we had on Saturday's doubleheader were from Birmingham and would not come because of iced bridges, so John was going to have to get some local umpires. I was not going to risk injuries for our team with conference starting next weekend just because John wanted to play. If they played an intrasquad game, that's great for them. I hope they got better doing it and nobody got hurt, but they weren't going to do it at the expense of risking injuries to our team. We did not forfeit, I canceled the game because their field was not in safe playing conditions due to recent bad weather."
