Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release
LANSING, MI - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers had a 6-0 lead on the Lansing Lugnuts on Tuesday at Cooley Law School Stadium, but rain stopped halted the contest. The game will be picked up on Wednesday afternoon at 4:05pm CDT.
The game started in a slight drizzle and Lansing (11-12) had an early scoring opportunity against starting pitcher Max Lazar. A walk, a single, and an error on the hit put runners on second and third with one out. Lazar was able to get out of the inning with back-to-back strikeouts of the next two hitters to keep the game scoreless.
Wisconsin (10-12) went in front in the top of the second. David Fry doubled to start the inning. Chad McClanahan followed with a single to drive in Fry. Later in the inning, Antonio Piñero drove in McClanahan with a single for a 2-0 lead.
The Rattlers bats got hotter as the rain fell harder in the top of the third inning. Yeison Coca and Fry both drew walks with one out. Gabriel GarcÃa doubled Wisconsin's lead with a line-drive double over the head of the left fielder to drive in both runners. Jesús Lujano drove in GarcÃa with a single and LG Castillo extended the lead to 6-0 with an RBI double. The umpires called for the tarp before Piñero could head to the plate for his next turn at the plate. The game was officially halted about 35 minutes later.
The suspended game will resume with Castillo at second and two outs in the third inning at 4:05pm CDT on Wednesday and played to its conclusion.
The regularly scheduled game will be a seven-inning game and will start thirty minutes after the conclusion of the suspended game.
