Fayetteville Woodpeckers News Release
Due to a large storm cell passing over Kinston on Thursday, the scheduled rubber match between the Fayetteville Woodpeckers and the Down East Wood Ducks has been postponed. As the two sides do not meet again in Kinston this season, the game will be made up as part of a home-and-home doubleheader at Segra Stadium on Saturday, August 31st.
The Home-and-Home doubleheader will be scheduled for a 3:00PM first pitch at Segra Stadium on August 31st. Gates for the game will open at 2:00PM, and there will be a traditional 30 minute turnover between the two games, as one ticket grants admission to both games.
With the postponement, Fayetteville will now turn their attention to the Frederick Keys, as Frederick makes their way to Segra Stadium for a three game series starting on Friday at 7:00PM.
The Fayetteville Woodpeckers are the Advanced Single-A affiliate of the 2017 World Champion Houston Astros and play in their Inaugural Season at beautiful Segra Stadium in downtown Fayetteville.
