Dusty winds postpone opening night as Gold Sox and Hubbers set new date
Last night’s game was called off due to wind and dust making play impractical. Tonight at Gold Sox Field the Lubbock Hubbers face Amarillo's Gold Sox at 8. The teams plan a two game slate in Lubbock tomorrow and move on to Lamesa and Abilene for two games each before a six day home stand begins. Bill Evans remains scheduled to start, with Gene Tumelson likely to pitch for the Hubbers. Newcomers Bill Moran and Harry Lamprich draw attention as additions to an otherwise set roster, while Collie Souza takes over left field duties.
