Lawrenceville, Ga. - Saturday night's game between the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) and Gwinnett Braves (Atlanta) has been postponed due to rain. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon, with first pitch of game one scheduled for 12:30 p.m.

The RailRiders are currently four games above .500 with a record of 15-11, and are riding a six-game winning streak.
