Whitecaps, T-Rats Suspended After One Inning

APPLETON, WI — The West Michigan Whitecaps game against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Saturday night at Neuroscience Group Field was suspended after one inning of play due to inclement weather.

A thunderstorm moved through Appleton, Wisconsin, shortly after both teams went scoreless in the first inning of Saturday’s contest, bringing thunderstorms that made conditions unplayable and forcing the suspension.

The Timber Rattlers took the first four games of this series after a 6-0 shutout on Friday night – Wisconsin’s third shutout of the series. Wisconsin, who enjoyed having Milwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz play for them as part of an MLB Rehab Assignment on Thursday, was scheduled to have two-time National League All-Star Devin Williams pitch in relief on Saturday. His appearance has now been moved to Sunday. The ‘Caps and T-Rats will now finish this game on Sunday at 1:10 pm, with the game originally scheduled for Sunday now being canceled.
