Still hot, but not quite as bad at the past two days. Highs will be in the upper 20s for the weekend with the humidex making it feel like the upper 30s


Another quiet weekend for the CK Barnstormers at Fergie Jenkins Field.

After beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 9-5 on Wednesday, the team’s on the road yet again, taking on Barrie on Saturday afternoon.

The Barnstormers return to Fergie Jenkins Field on Tuesday to take on The London Majors at 7:35 p.m. This will be the last time London comes to Chatham in the regular season.
