KINSTON, NC "" It was a wet night in Kinston, NC and a sour ending to the P-Nats' three-game series with the Indians, as the K-Tribe won a rain-shortened game on Sunday afternoon, 4-1.

The first pitch was delayed one hour, 18 minutes.

The two teams started play and the Indians scored in the bottom of the second on a Matt Whitney single to center field.

The K-Tribe would add two more runs in the bottom of the third on a two-run homer to right by Jordan Brown, his 10th homer of the year and second of this series. That made it 3-0.

The P-Nats would get one back in the top of the fifth on a homer to left-center field by Cristian Guerrero.

The, after one batter in the bottom of the fifth, the rains came again, forcing another delay, this one an hour and 35 minutes.

The K-Tribe got a run in the bottom of the fifth, but then, come the top of the sixth, it started to pour. The two teams played through three batters. But after a couple strikeouts and a walk, the umpires called it again.

It was then decided that the game would not be continued.

The P-Nats now hit the road for a three-game series against Myrtle Beach. Starting pitcher for Potomac will be right-hander Collin Balester. He'll be countered by lefty Jo-Jo Reyes. First pitch on Monday night is scheduled for 7:02 p.m.

You can hear Dan Laing and Brandon Chapman give all the live, play-by-play from Grainger Stadium via the P-Nats' Web site: www.potomacnationals.com.
