SAL1 Hagerstown Suns

Suns Game Suspended Saturday

August 3, 2019 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Hagerstown Suns News Release


HAGERSTOWN, MD - The Suns game against the Columbia Fireflies has been suspended in the seventh inning with the score tied at two Saturday at Municipal Stadium.

The game will resume Sunday at 2:05 p.m. Once that game finishes, there will be a 30 minute break, and then Sunday's game will be played in a full nine innings afterward.

Columbia got on the board first in this one against Suns starter Jackson Rutledge, who was making his first start at Municipal Stadium. After two walks early in the inning, Hayden Senger singled into centerfield and Armond Upshaw made an error, allowing to ball to skid by him and the runner Shervyen Newton to score. Gerson Molina then knocked in another run on a fielder's choice to make it 2-0 Fireflies.

However, the second was the only inning in which Rutledge allowed a baserunner. The Nationals' 2019 No. 1 draft pick spun five strong innings, allowing just one earned run on one hit and striking out two. The righty also retired the final 11 batters he faced.

The Hagerstown offense took a little longer to get going, but it started to put hits together in the fourth. After Jacob Rhinesmith walked, Nic Perkins deliverd an RBI double to get the Suns on the board against Columbia starter Christian James. Then in the fifth inning, Trey Vickers singled to lead it off, Upshaw bunted him to second, and then Jackson Cluff drove him home with an RBI single to tie the game.

Christian Vann came on for the Suns and pitched two scoreless frames, and then the skies opened up during the seventh inning stretch, and the game was suspended.

Hagerstown continues its four-game series with Columbia tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. The Suns send LHP Jackson Stoeckinger (1-2, 3.57 ERA) to the hill while the Fireflies will give RHP Bryce Hutchinson (4-6, 3.58 ERA) the nod.

The Suns are in the midst of a seven-game homestand against the Rome Braves and Columbia Fireflies. The stretch includes plenty of exciting promotions, including a Juan Soto Bobblehead giveaway, Sunday Funday, Shark Weekend and Summer Camp Day.
