Bandits And Cougars Rained Out

Quad Cities River Bandits News Release

The Quad Cities River Bandits and Kane County Cougars were postponed on Saturday, as torrential downpours pounded the Quad Cities shortly before scheduled first pitch and rainfall was expected to continue throughout the night.

The rainout will be made up with a doubleheader on Sunday, consisting of two seven-inning games. The first contest will begin at 4:00 p.m. and there will be a 30 minute break in between games. In addition to a U.S. Bank Family Sunday, the doubleheader will feature a Pepsi Youth Jersey giveaway for kids. It will also be another Tailz' Er Waggin' Dog Day of Summer, meaning that family dogs are invited to join in the fun.

Saturday's rainout also means that Autism Night will be rescheduled for August 16, a 6:05 p.m. game against the Peoria Chiefs. The in-game auction for the special edition game-worn jerseys and the distribution of the remaining Hillary Clinton bobblehead dolls will occur on that date.

UP NEXT: Sunday's doubleheader will feature a Pepsi Youth Jersey giveaway on another Tailz 'Er Waggin' Dog Day of Summer, also a U.S. Bank Family Sunday. After an off day on Monday, the Bandits welcome the Burlington Bees to town on an Economic Stimulus Tuesday in which all tickets are 2-for-1 and kids 12 and under eat for free! July rolls in with a Rhythm City Casino Guaranteed Prize WINS-day and Faith Night on Wednesday. The Quad Cities' first Independence Day party will take place on July 2at Modern Woodmen Park on a Thirst-day Thursday which will include $2 draft beer and fountain Pepsi products before an extravagant post-game fireworks show. The homestand concludes on July 3 as the City of Davenport's Red, White and Boom fireworks show kicks off at Modern Woodmen Park after the game for another huge Fourth of July party!
