Aldershot Town P-P Fylde
The National League match between Aldershot Town and Fylde has been postponed because of an unfit pitch.
A morning inspection found the EBB Stadium pitch unplayable following heavy snow on Friday afternoon followed by heavy overnight rain.
Aldershot's club website said sand was applied to the worst-affected areas to try and get the game on.
But after a further look at 12:30 GMT, the referee was "not satisfied the work done had improved playing conditions" and called off the game.

Phillies to Activate Zack Wheeler Off Paternity List to Start Monday Against Cubs
Phillies to Activate Zack Wheeler Off Paternity List to Start Monday Against Cubs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies, in the middle of losing eight of their last nine games, got a bit of good news Sunday morning. With Zack Wheeler missing his previous start due to the birth of his child, his next start was also in question. But after a new report, the Phillies ace is expected to be back on the mound soon. Advertisement According to Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia on Twitter/X, the Phillies plan to activate Wheeler off the paternity list and have him start on Monday, June 9th, against the Chicago Cubs. Wheeler rejoins the Phillies rotation which has gone through it's fair share of struggles lately. Across Jesus Luzardo's last two starts, he's allowed 20 earned runs. Christopher Sanchez and Ranger Suarez have been solid, but neither has been dominant. Meanwhile, Wheeler's absence led the Phillies to trot out a bullpen game, which culminated in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies have sorely needed Wheeler's presence in the rotation, and he's expected back for the series-opener against the first-place Cubs. Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (45) throws a pitch against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning at Citizens Bank Ross-Imagn Images In 2025, Wheeler has been his dominant self once again. He has a 2.96 ERA with 6 wins and 2 losses, both coming against the Atlanta Braves. In his 12 starts, Wheeler's gone 76 innings, and struck out 94 while walking just 18. Advertisement He is once again a Cy Young candidate, and if it weren't for two bad starts against the Braves, he'd be the leading candidate for the National League Cy Young. Wheeler's return in the middle of a losing streak is a welcome sign. With Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list, and Aaron Nola still out with a foot injury, the Phillies need a spark. Wheeler, the Phillies best pitcher, is a major boost to the team once he's back on the mound.

Zack Wheeler Breaks Fanchise Record With 1,000th Phillies' Strikeout
Zack Wheeler Breaks Fanchise Record With 1,000th Phillies' Strikeout originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Zack Wheeler has been nothing short of a phenomenal pitcher during his time in Philadelphia. Ever since the Phillies signed him before the 2020 season, Wheeler has been one of the top arms in all of MLB. With over 90 quality starts, a pair of All-Star appearances, and the National League strikeout crown in 2021, he's become a true ace at the top of the rotation. Advertisement During his latest start Monday night, the veteran righty added another huge accomplishment to his name. In the top of the 6th inning, Wheeler struck out Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, becoming the fastest to ever record 1,000 regular season strikeouts in a Phillies uniform. Wheeler reached the milestone in 907.2 innings, beating out franchise greats such as Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts, Cole Hamels, and more. As the above video shows, he got a nice standing ovation from the Philly faithful for his mark. Zack has accumulated 1,726 strikeouts in his entire career, putting him well within striking distance for 2,000 before he retires. That does not include the 77 more he's picked up during the postseason. Advertisement Wheeler currently sits at 10th all-time in total strikeouts among Phillies' pitchers, while teammate Aaron Nola is knocking on Hamels' door in 4th with 1,831. Zack Wheeler struck out seven Chicago Cubs hitters while allowing one run in six innings Monday Ross-Imagn Images Wheeler is currently in the second year of a three-year, $126 million deal that's made him the highest paid pitcher in baseball. Only two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto have higher annual salaries. At this stage in his career, the 35-year-old Wheeler has won plenty of respect throughout the game. But two things have eluded him to this point: a Cy Young Award, and a World Series Championship. Both remain in sight as this Phillies core tries to finish what they started seven years ago with the Bryce Harper signing.

Marsh's Walk-Off Leads Phillies Over Cubs to Snap Skid
Marsh's Walk-Off Leads Phillies Over Cubs to Snap Skid originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The best way to snap a five-game losing streak? Apparently, it's to play the best team in the National League. Advertisement The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, in 11 innings to end their losing ways. Brandon Marsh hit a ball over the outfielders' heads to the wall with the bases loaded to receive his water bath when his teammates mobbed him. The Phillies had to score two in the 11th to the game after Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled in the top of the the inning and provide the Cubs with a lead. JT Realmuto immediately answered with a lead-off double to score Nick Castellanos. Bryson Stott and Otto Kemp then both reached on bunts, leading to Marsh's heroics. Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Philadelphia had lost its last two games against the Toronto Blue Jays then were swept over the weekend by in-state rival, and NL Central last-place bunch, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Advertisement The ending belied the quality of both starting pitchers. Matt Boyd gave up two runs, just one earned, while striking out eight over six innings for the Cubs. Zack Wheeler did one better, giving up just a single run in his six, striking out seven. Ian Happ hit a solo home run in the eighth inning off Phillies reliever Matt Strahm to tie the game. Kyle Tucker started the scoring in the first with a solo shot off Wheeler. The Phillies tied the game in the fourth when Realmuto plated on a run on a fielder's choice. Weston Wilson then gave Philadelphia the lead in the fifth with an RBI single, scoring Kemp.
