The first sentence.

Explanation: The introductory adverbial clause "If it rains on Saturday," needs a comma, and the two independent clauses are joined by "and," so a comma before "and" is required: "If it rains on Saturday, Hillary’s baseball game will be canceled, and Jake’s basketball game will take place in the gym."
