The WPLL West Chester, Pennsylvania games that were to be held on July 6 were both called due to inclement weather in the area.
The first game of the evening, a matchup between the Command and the Brave was called at halftime after multiple weather delays due to lightning storms. The score was 7-3 for the Command at the end of the half. The second game of the evening was scheduled to be a contest between the Fire and Pride, but the bad weather meant that game would never get underway.
