Dragons Suspended by Rain at West Michigan on Wednesday

Dayton Dragons News Release


Grand Rapids, Mich.-The Dayton Dragons and West Michigan Whitecaps were suspended by rain in the second inning of their game on Wednesday morning in Grand Rapids. The contest began at 11:03 a.m. and the two teams played for 28 minutes before rain became heavy enough to cause a delay of the game. The game was officially suspended just prior to 1:00 p.m. with the score 0-0 and West Michigan batting in the bottom of the second with two outs and the bases empty.

UPDATE: Wednesday's game will resume on Thursday, May 26 at 5:35 p.m. (not Saturday, as was announced earlier this afternoon). It will resume at the point when it was suspended in the bottom of the second inning and continue as a nine-inning game. The suspended game will be followed by a seven-inning game.

Saturday's game will revert back to its original start time of 6:35 p.m. and be a single nine-inning game.

NOTES: The Dragons made a late starting pitcher change on Wednesday, replacing the regular Wednesday starter, Bryce Bonnin, with Spencer Stockton, normally a reliever. The change was made with the expectation that rain could lead to a shortened outing for the Wednesday starter. Stockton pitched one and two-thirds scoreless innings in the game and was on the mound when the game was stopped.

Up Next: UPDATE: The Dragons will battle the Whitecaps in West Michigan on Thursday evening in a suspended game at 5:35 p.m. followed by a seven-inning game. Bryce Bonnin will resume the suspended game for the Dragons while Thomas Farr will start the second game.

The Dragons return home to host the South Bend Cubs on Tuesday, May 31 at 7:05 p.m. at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District. For ticket information, go to daytondragons.com or call (937) 228-2287.
