CLEVELAND — For the second day in a row, snow and cold weather has forced a doubleheader between the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians to be postponed.

The teams were snowed out of a day-night doubleheader yesterday, when they were attempting to make up Friday's game, which was postponed after the teams had played four innings and endured nearly 3 hours in delays.

Today, the teams had hoped to get two games in with a traditional doubleheader, but that too had to be cancelled because of snow.

Now the Mariners and Indians will try to salvage half of their four-game series by playing two tomorrow.

The Cleveland area has been blanketed by a spring snowstorm, which has dumped over a foot of snow in some places since Friday.
