Games this past weekend were postponed as softball mourned the loss of Hall of Fame umpire Michael Preece, 65. All games this week will start with a moment of silence for the long-serving umpire and groundsman.

Preece's funeral will be this Saturday at 2pm at Christ Church, Devonshire.

He passed away last way Friday at King Edward Memorial Hospital.

He was inducted into the International Softball Hall of Fame in June.
