Heat Wave Leads to MCL Schedule Changes Whiting, Ind. – July 18, 2019 – The Midwest Collegiate League office has announced the cancellation of several games across the league this weekend due to the heat wave that is expected to hit the Chicagoland area. With forecasted highs of nearly 100 degrees and the heat index expected to reach three figures, the league has called off games for precautionary reasons to look out for the safety of players, coaches, umpires, spectators and staff members.

The Oilmen will be back in action on Monday as the U.S. Military All-Stars visit Oil City Stadium for a patriotic display of America and America’s pastime.
