Boston shut down

Sat., April 20, 2013

The Red Sox and Bruins postponed their games Friday as authorities searched for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, virtually shutting down the city. The teams announced about four hours before their night games were scheduled to start that they were scratched. Authorities in Boston suspended all mass transit, used by many fans to get to games, and told people throughout Boston and some of its suburbs to stay inside for much of Friday as the hunt went on. Trains were finally allowed to run again after 6 p.m. No makeup date was announced for the opener of the Red Sox’s series against the Kansas City Royals. Today’s game, set to start at 1:35 p.m., was still on. The NHL game between the Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins was tentatively rescheduled for today at 12:30 p.m. – AP
