TAMPA, F.L. (August 6, 2008) - Light failure at Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday night forced the Fort Myers Miracle and Tampa Yankees into a suspended ball game with the Miracle ahead 2-0. The stadium lights were on pre-game but suddenly went dark just before first pitch. The stadium fire alarm went off immediately after the lights and forced the contest to halt heading into the fourth inning.

With the lighting situation Wednesday, the Yankees and Miracle won't take a chance on them being unable to be fixed for Thursday night as the two teams will pick up action at 1:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The regularly scheduled game will be seven-innings and follow approximately 30 minutes after the suspended game from Wednesday concludes. All the action from Tampa can be heard Thursday on WMYR AM-1410 and WCNZ AM-1660 at 1:00 p.m.
