Soggy Snappers rained out

It seems that the Fort Myers Miracle weren't the the only team in the Twins organization to fall victim to the fury of Nature. The game between the Beloit Snappers and the Cedar Rapids Kernels was canceled due to inclement weather and field conditions. Much like the Miracle, they have only three games left in the first half of the season, so the game will not be made up.

Fans may exchange their ticket to any other regular season home game, except for the June 29th game, which is SOLD OUT.

The Snappers are on the road to finish off the season, starting a 3-game series on Friday against the Quad City River Bandits. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:00 PM central time.

Julio Castillo would keep the Twins off board, giving up four hits and 3 walks while striking out 3 over 5 innings. with Roderick Pichardo on the mound for the Cubs1 in the 8th inning, Jean Carlos Mercedes would go yard over the left field fence to tie up the game. It was his first home run of the new season. Eliel Sierra drew a walk before Miguel Coletto replaced Pichardo on the mound.

Caro would single to center which moved Sierra to 3rd. Manuel Soliman reached on a force attempt that allowed Sierra to score the game winning run. Juan Medina would have some problems throwing the ball during a pick off attempt which allowed the runs on base to advance. Jairo Perez then drew a walk to load the bags. A line drive single to Juan Blanco plated Caro and Soliman for the insurance runs.

Mercedes would go 3-for-3 at the plate with a run and a run scored on the home run, and would draw a walk as well. Blanco as 2-for-4 in the contest, while Soliman was 1-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI. Caro was 1-for-4 with a run.
