Rockford RiverHawks News Release
LOVES PARK, Ill. ¬- Monday's game between the Rockford RiverHawks and the visiting Gateway Grizzlies was suspended because of rain. At the time the game was suspended because of thunderstorms, the RiverHawks led, 2-1, in the top of the fourth.
The teams will play a day-night pseudo-doubleheader Tuesday at RiverHawks Stadium.
The suspended game will be completed at 1 p.m. When the game is resumed, Gateway will have the bases loaded with nobody out. The Grizzlies scored on a Mike Breyman single just before the game was halted. It will be played out to the full nine innings.
Tuesday's regularly scheduled game will begin at 7:05 p.m. and has been reduced to a seven-inning regulation affair.
Gates open at 4 p.m. for the latter game, Danica Patrick/MDA Night. The Indy racing star will be at the park to sign copies of her book, "Danica: Crossing the Line." The RiverHawks will play in alternate jerseys styled after Patrick's racing uniform. Proceeds from the postgame jersey auction will benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
