Charleston Dirty Birds News Release

CHARLESTON, WV - Due to inclement weather in the Charleston area, tonight's West Virginia Power game against the Lexington Legends has been suspended in the top of the second inning, with the Power leading 2-0.

West Virginia took the lead in the bottom of the first on a two-run home run from Deon Stafford, who clubbed his fourth home run of the season to dead center field to give the Power their 2-0 edge. Meanwhile, West Virginia starter Gavin Wallace set down Lexington 1-2-3 in the first, but walked the first batter he faced in the second inning, Brewer Hicklen, before heavy rain forced the suspension of Saturday's play.
