Sunday's series finale between the St. Paul Saints and Nashville Sounds was canceled after three consecutive days of rain made the field conditions at CHS Field unsafe and unplayable.

The game will not be made up as the two teams are not scheduled to play again this season. Fans who had a ticket for Sunday's game can exchange it for any other remaining regular-season game.

The Saints' homestand continues Tuesday when the Iowa Cubs begin a six-game series in St. Paul.
