The YMCA church league softball opener is postponed as circuit breaker switches for a new Sunnyside field lighting system have not arrived. If they do, a doubleheader Wednesday features Catholic and Zion Lutheran groups with Peace Evangelical. The project, led by the city park board and Atlantic Municipal Utilities, installs floodlights matching National Electrical Manufacturers Association Class A standards, doubling prior lighting.
