Royals, RedHawks Rained Out Again
April 26, 2009 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1) - Omaha Storm Chasers News Release
OMAHA, NE - The Omaha Royals game vs. the Oklahoma City RedHawks, scheduled for 1:35 p.m. Sunday at Rosenblatt Stadium, has been postponed due to rain, marking the second straight day that has happened. Saturday's night's rainout will be made up with a doubleheader on Monday, with the first pitch of the opening seven-inning contest slated for 5:05 p.m. The two teams will play one game on Tuesday, at 12:05 p.m. Sunday's rainout will be made up as part of a doubleheader the next time the RedHawks visit Omaha on Sunday, August 23 at 1:35 pm.
Due to today's rainout, the first game of Monday's doubleheader now features a pitching matchup of two of the better young pitchers in professional baseball. Right-hander Luke Hochevar (3-0, 1.89), who spent most of last season seeing his first extended action in the big leagues with Kansas City, starts for Omaha. Oklahoma City will counter with 20-year old righty Neftali Feliz (1-0, 5.25) generally regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in the minors.
In game two Monday night, lefty Heath Phillips (1-1, 7.43) goes for Omaha vs. Oklahoma City right-hander Doug Mathis (0-1, 2.50). Tuesday's noon game pits Royals veteran right-hander Brandon Duckworth (0-1, 9.53) vs. RedHawks righty Elizardo Ramirez (0-2, 4.11).
Monday is the first dollar dog night of the season, featuring $1 hot doges, brought to you by Rotella's Italian Bakery. The night is also presented by 89.7 The River and the Daily Nonpareil.
