Coaches’ Stadium was flooded again forcing Eastern to cancel its game Tuesday against University of Illinois-Chicago.

Eastern (14-18. 2-4) dealt with a flooded field earlier in the season because of suspected vandalism. Eastern did not have to cancel games in that incident, but had did move its doubleheader from Saturday to Sunday.

The game was called Tuesday because of an unplayable field because the sprinkler system was left on. The game will not be rescheduled.

Senior co-captain and catcher Bret Pignatiello said he was one of the first people out on the field.

“Coach (Jim Schmitz) told me it was canceled and I thought he was kidding, but it was wet all around the first-base line,” Pignatiello said.

Eastern will travel to Peoria Wednesday to take on Bradley University (18-19) in a doubleheader at 5 p.m at 0’Brien Field.

Bradley is coming off a 6-4 win against Missouri Valley Conference rival Wichita State.

The Panthers will be back in Coaches’ Stadium this weekend to play a three-game series against Ohio Valley Conference foe Eastern Kentucky University (16-16, 5-3).

The games will start at 1 p.m. Saturday with a doubleheader and a single game played 1 p.m. Sunday.
