Description: Here's a news clip from NewsCenter 5 on WMAQ Channel 5 giving an update on the Disco Demolition fiasco at Comiskey Park that night.
Mike Pumo reports via phone to Jim Ruddle that the second game of the double-header has been cancelled along with some other details.
I am assuming that this report was from the regular 10pm news that night - and assuming that this was their lead story, can we assume then that the 2nd game was officially cancelled around 10pm that night?
This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, July 12th 1979.
