Wahoos, Braves Suspended With Wahoos Up 4-0

June 10, 2013

With the Blue Wahoos leading the Mississippi Braves 4-0 in the middle of the fourth inning, the umpires delayed the game for a second time because of rain. Eventually, the game was suspended and will be finished as part of a doubleheader on Monday at 5:30 p.m. at Trustmark Park.

Ray Chang got the Blue Wahoos on the board with a three-run home run in the top of the first inning with two outs. Pensacola added another run when Corey Wimberly singled home Brodie Greene from third in the second inning. The game was delayed following that at bat for one hour and 30 minutes. When the game resumed the teams made it through the top of the fourth before getting delayed for a final time.

The two teams will complete the nine-inning resumption of Sunday’s suspended contest and follow it up with a seven inning game approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game. RHP Drew Hayes will pitch the completion of Sunday’s game, and Shaun Ellis will start game two for the Blue Wahoos.

The Blue Wahoos are trying to de-rail the Braves’ chance at a first-half division title. After Pensacola’s win over the Braves on Saturday night, Mississippi finds themselves a half-game behind the Mobile BayBears who lost on Sunday night in extra innings to the Tennessee Smokies.
