The Elizabethton River Riders (14-16) were scheduled to host the Bristol State Liners (10-20) on Thursday night, however, the game was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. The make-up date and time for the contest is to be determined.

The postponement of the contest is due to a high number of cases within the State Liner clubhouse. Elizabethton general manager Maya Mathis was unavailable to comment on any details about future scheduling changes due to the cancellation.

The game between the State Liners and River Riders on Friday night is still scheduled to be played, as of now, with first pitch from Northeast Community Credit Union Ballpark set for 7 p.m. Players and other staff will undergo contact tracing and testing to ensure safety for all before the contest.
