FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Wednesday afternoon's game scheduled for 12:05 p.m. at Parkview Field between the Fort Wayne TinCaps and Lake County Captains (Cleveland Guardians affiliate) has been postponed due to the weather. Approximately eight inches of rain hit the area since Tuesday morning, with severe winds, too. The game will be made up with a doubleheader on Saturday, July 9, with the first pitch set for 5:35 p.m. -- that's an hour earlier than the original schedule.
