Baseball: Home vs Bordentown at 3:45pm HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Game Preview Capsule: The Pirates home opener is today and it comes against Patriot rival Bordentown. Cinnaminson opened the 2016 season on Tuesday with a 14-5 loss at Northern Burlington. Bordentown is 1-1 with a 12-7 win over Florence and a 6-1 loss to Moorestown. These teams split their two meetings last year with the Pirates winning at home 9-7 and dropping a 2-1 game on the road. The loss was just one of two in the division for the Pirates in 2015, who claimed a share of the title with Holy Cross. Check Cinn City Sports at 1pm today for the Gameday Focus vs Bordentown.

Softball: At Bordentown at 6:30pm.

Game Preview Capsule: The Pirates softball team is back at it today with another road game, their sixth straight to begin the season. Cinnaminson comes in with a record of 1-4 after a 15-14 loss to Riverside in 10 innings Wednesday. Bordentown is the defending division champion and has yet to play a game this season due to multiple rainouts. The Scotties swept the season series from the Pirates last year, winning 6-0 and 5-1. The Scotties went 8-0 in the division in 2015.
