Syracuse Mets News Release
Friday's game between the Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, and the Rochester Red Wings, was suspended in the bottom of the third inning due to heavy rain with the Chiefs leading 8-1. The Chiefs and Red Wings will resume play tomorrow at 5:00, the regularly scheduled start time for tomorrow's games. Syracuse and Rochester will finish today's game and then play one of tomorrow's scheduled seven-inning doubleheader games after.

Today's scheduled fireworks display will also be made up at a later date. More information will be announced later.
Play will resume tomorrow with the Chiefs batting in the bottom of the third. Syracuse has already scored six runs in the inning and has the bases loaded with two outs and Jesus Valdez batting. Lefthander Ross Detwiler will start for the Chiefs in the continuation of the first game, while righthander Brad Meyers will start the second game.
