Portland Beavers News Release


PORTLAND, Ore. - Thursday night's game between the Portland Beavers and Tacoma Rainiers at PGE Park was suspended due to two different power outages that affected much of the surrounding area.

Thursday's game, which the Rainiers lead 9-2, will be resumed in the bottom of the seventh inning starting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and will be followed by the regularly scheduled, nine-inning game. Gates open at 5 p.m.

The Rainiers built a 9-2 advantage largely based on the efforts of Kevin Howard, who hit three home runs.

The game was interrupted at 9:21 p.m. due to the first power outage. After a 24-minute delay, the teams resumed play, but a second outage occurred shortly after, and team officials made the decision to suspend the game at that point.

FRIDAY'S PROMOTION: In the spirit of an election year, the Beavers host Election Night on a Comcast Family Feast Friday presented by Zenner's. Topping off the night, a special fireworks presentation will take place over center field following the game. The first 1,903 fans receive a Vote-for-Lucky election button and all will be treated to an entertaining performance from the "world's fastest golfer," David Ogron, prior to the fireworks show. Throughout the night, a variety of discounted concession items will be available, including $1 hot dogs, Dasani water and desserts.
