Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will have a chance to regroup overnight and try and prevent the team’s first real losing skid of the young season.
Rain hit PNC Field on Wednesday night, suspending the RailRiders’ game against Buffalo with the Bisons leading 2-0 after three innings.
The game will resume on Thursday at 5:05 p.m. and is set for a full nine innings. Thursday’s originally scheduled game will now start 30 minutes after the suspended game finishes and will go for seven innings.
The RailRiders had the best start in Triple-A East with an impressive 13-4 record. They lost Sunday’s series finale at Rochester before returning home for Tuesday’s opening loss to Buffalo.
On Wednesday, the Bisons jumped on Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starter Nick Green for two runs. Nash Knight hit a leadoff homer and, after a pair of singles and an out, a wild pitch by Green brought home a second run.
Green didn’t make it out of the inning, replaced by Kyle Barraclough with two outs in the frame. Barraclough sat down the first batter he faced with three straight strikes.
The RailRiders’ lone hit of the evening came on an Estevan two-out single in the bottom of the third that put runners at the corners. Hoy Jun Park flied out to left to end the inning before the game was suspended.
Play will resume with Logan Warmoth coming to bat for Buffalo in the top of the fourth.
