Swing and Bees rained out of series
May 15, 2006 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Quad Cities River Bandits News Release
The Swing of the Quad Cities and the Burlington Bees were rained out for the third time in four days on Monday night at Community Field, and will not make up the scheduled doubleheader. The two teams are not scheduled to meet again until August 18.
Quad Cities has now been rained out four times in the last five days, and six times already this season. Only two of the scheduled four games were played in the series, both of them won by Burlington in a doubleheader on Saturday.
UP NEXT: The Swing of the Quad Cities will hope for clearer skies as they get set to open up a four-game road series with the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Tuesday night. RHP Cory Meacham (1-2, 5.57) is scheduled to take the hill against Kernels' RHP Stephen Marek (3-1, 2.41). First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with coverage on Progressive Talk AM-1270 beginning at 6:15 p.m. and featuring Midwest League home run leader Randy Roth on the pre-game show.
NEXT HOMESTAND: After a 12-game trip around the Midwest League, the Swing will return to John O'Donnell Stadium on May 20 for an eight-game homestand. Quad Cities will welcome two in-state rivals to town, as the Clinton LumberKings come in on May 20 and the Cedar Rapids Kernels visit starting May 25.
UPCOMING PROMOTIONS: Saturday, May 20 will be John Deere' Employee's Night with fireworks brought to you by i-wireless, KWQC, and Q106.5. Sunday, May 21, will be a Mix 96 Family Fun Day, followed by a Q106.5 $1 Monday on May 22. If you have been waiting for Wild West Night, that is coming up on May 25 in conjunction with a 97 Rock/Pluckers Thirsty Thursday. Your favorite characters from the Rugrats will be at John O'Donnell Stadium on May 26 thanks to Mediacom, Baseball America, and Star 93.5. The busy homestand will conclude with a baseball cap (Mountain Dew, 97 Rock, Fox-18) giveaway on May 27 and another Mix 96 Family Fun Day on May 28 - also Scott County YMCA's day at the ballpark with post-game fireworks sponsored in part by KWQC/KUUL/WOC.
