t didn't rain long on Friday, but it rained enough to postpone the IronPigs game and also shorten the Northampton-Emmaus game at Pates Park. It ended in the sixth inning, which was just in time for the Green Hornets, who snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the Konkrete Kids 5-3.
Five Colonial League games were played and in each game the North Division team beat the South Division team. Counting Palmerton's win over Wilson on Thursday, the North is 6-0 vs. the South this season.
