WILMINGTON, DE - Today's series finale between the Carolina Mudcats and Wilmington Blue Rocks has been canceled due to inclement weather at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, DE. The game was the final scheduled meeting between the two teams in the first half of the 2019 season and will not be made up.

Sunday's cancellation also came at the end of the three game series between the two teams, giving the Blue Rocks a series sweep as they had previously won the first two games. Wilmington additionally won five of the seven games scheduled between the two teams in the first half.
