Whitecaps, Loons Doubleheader Suspended
May 21, 2025 - Midwest League (MWL)
West Michigan Whitecaps News Release
COMSTOCK PARK, MI - For the second straight day, the Whitecaps and Loons watched Mother Nature intervene as the teams played to a 1-1 tie through two and a half innings of their scheduled doubleheader before heavy rains suspended play Wednesday morning at LMCU Ballpark.
The 'Caps and Loons - slated to play two seven-inning games after the postponement on Tuesday - battled through light rain early in the morning before it intensified - forcing the suspension at a 1-1 tie with two outs in the bottom of the third. Before the delay - Tigers No. 4 prospect Josue Briceño blasted a solo home run in his first at-bat off the Injured List before Loons first baseman Joe Vetrano countered with a solo homer in the top of the third - tying the game at 1-1 before the rain stopped the game prematurely.
The 'Caps and Loons are now scheduled to finish the seven-inning ballgame before another seven-inning contest afterward - with a 40-minute break between games. Thursday's Game 1 continuation is scheduled for 5:35 pm. Whitecaps pitcher Joe Miller is expected to start the second game on the mound, while Great Lakes counters with lefty Wyatt Crowell.
