Baseball game postponed by earthquake

: The Yomiuri Giants-Rakuten Eagles game was postponed after a magnitude 7.2 temblor hit northern Japanese Islands on Saturday, killing at least six people.

Japanese baseball game functionaries said it was the first clip they had postponed a game because of an earthquake.

The earthquake didn't harm the bowl in Sendai where the game was to be played, but functionaries postponed the game owed to transportation system jobs and the menace of aftershocks.

The game was rescheduled for Monday. Rakuten functionaries did not govern out the possibility of postponing Sunday's game against Yomiuri, as well.

The earthquake, which was followed by some 153 aftershocks, buckled many roads, including one main road that was severed when a stretch of land collapsed. Today in Sports
