LANSING, MI – The fifth game of the West Michigan Whitecaps six-game series against the Lansing Lugnuts was postponed after a pregame thunderstorm made field conditions unplayable Saturday night at Jackson Field.
Heavy rains moved through Lansing roughly 30 minutes before the first pitch, leaving much of the outfield with standing water discovered during pregame warmups, ultimately forcing the postponement out of respect for the health and safety of the participating players. The Whitecaps and Lugnuts have split their first four scheduled games and will decide the series’ outcome on Sunday.
The ‘Caps and Lugnuts are now scheduled for a doubleheader on Sunday, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:05 pm. The twin-bill will consist of two games with a 40-minute break in between. The Whitecaps will send pitcher Carlos Marcano for one of the games, while Lansing counters with Mitch Myers. The other starters are still to be determined.
