Tuesday's game between the Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees was suspended due to rain after four innings. The game will be resumed on Thursday, July 12 as part of a doubleheader at Alliance Bank Stadium beginning at 6:00pm. After the completion of the suspended game, the teams will play a seven-inning affair.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre led the game 2-0 when the game was suspended. The Yankees scored both of their runs in the top of the fourth against Chiefs starter Mitch Atkins. A Colin Curtis sacrifice fly to right field drove in Dewayne Wise to start the scoring. Wise then came home on a double by shortstop Doug Bernier. Both runs, however, were unearned after Syracuse leftfielder Corey Brown misplayed a fly ball off the bat of third baseman Brandon Laird.

The Chiefs had just one hit - a Mark Teahen single - in the first four innings.

Syracuse plays on the road for the first time in 2012 Wednesday night at 7:05pm against Lehigh Valley. Tanner Roark is expected to start for the Chiefs against Austin Hyatt of the IronPigs.
