LEWISBURG, Pa. - Tuesday's Bucknell-Yale baseball game, scheduled for 2 p.m. at Chain of Lakes Stadium in Winter Haven, Fla., has been cancelled due to rain. The teams will try to make the game up later this week, but no date has been established. The Bison will return to action Wednesday at 11 a.m. against LIU Brooklyn in Lakeland, Fla.
