Akron RubberDucks News Release
AKRON, OH - Matt LaPorta's highly anticipated Akron debut consisted of about 35 minutes, 610 questions from the media, and an inch-and-a-half of rain that forced the postponement of Tuesday's game against Bowie. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday beginning at 6:05 p.m. and will consist of two seven-inning games. Fans with tickets to Tuesday's game may exchange them for any future 2008 home game, subject to availability.
LaPorta, the centerpiece to the blockbuster trade that shipped Cleveland ace CC Sabathia to Milwaukee, was slated to hit third and play left field Tuesday.
Akron is expected to send left-hander Scott Lewis to the hill in game one Wednesday, with Jim Deters following in game two. Bowie's starting pitchers have yet to be announced. The game broadcast begins at 5:50 p.m. on SportsRadio 1350 AM and online at www.akronaeros.com. For more information, please call the Aeros at (330) 253-5151.
