West Michigan Whitecaps News Release
EASTLAKE, OH - Tuesday's scheduled game between the West Michigan Whitecaps and Lake County Captains at Classic Park has been postponed due to steady rain in the Eastlake area.
After a 70-degree series opener on Monday, constant rain through the afternoon make playing conditions unsafe and led to another postponement. Tuesday's rainout becomes the fifth gameday that a Whitecaps game has been called off since the beginning of the 2018 season.
Tuesday's game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday beginning at 5:00 pm. Both games will last seven innings in duration, with a 30-minute break in-between contests. The team is now scheduled to play three doubleheaders in the next five days, including an upcoming five-game series played in a three-day span this weekend against the Lansing Lugnuts.
UP NEXT
The Whitecaps continue this four-game series against the Lake County Captains Wednesday night starting at 5:00 p.m. Pitchers Garett King and Elvin Rodriguez make the starts for Games 1 & 2 on the mound for West Michigan against Lake County's Francisco Perez and Kirk McCarty. Broadcast coverage with Dan Hasty begins on the Whitecaps Baseball Network at 4:50 p.m. Tickets are available for any Whitecaps 2018 home contest by calling the Whitecaps front office at 616-784-4131 or by visiting www.whitecapsbaseball.com.
