CHARLESTON, WV - Wednesday night's game between the West Virginia Power and Asheville Tourists at Appalachian Power Park has been postponed, due to rain.
The game will be made up on Wednesday, May 2nd when the teams return to Asheville. The Tourists will host a double-header at McCormick Field on that date with the first of two seven inning games starting at 5:35 p.m. Gates for the double header will open at 5:00 p.m. The series will conclude with single games on Thursday and Friday - each set for 7:05 p.m. starts. Asheville will then wrap up the home-stand with four games against Lexington.
In the meantime, Asheville will return home to Historic McCormick Field this Thursday as the Tourists kick off a four-game home stand with the Rome Braves with a 7:05 p.m. start. In keeping with Thirsty Thursday tradition, selected beers and Pepsi products are just $1 each.
