JUPITER, Fla. - Due to consistent rainfall, Thursday evening’s contest between the Daytona Tortugas and Palm Beach Cardinals has been postponed.
As a result, the rained-out affair will be played as a part of a doubleheader on Friday, September 17, with the first pitch slated for 4 p.m. Both ballgames will be seven innings in length with a roughly 30-minute break in between the contests.
Thursday’s scheduled starters — Daytona’s RHP Sam Benschoter (0-1, 9.00) and Palm Beach’s LHP Levi Prater (1-8, 6.65) — are still expected to duel one another in the opening game on Friday.
RHP Ryan Cardona (1-1, 6.43) — Cincinnati's 19th-round pick in this past July's draft — is projected to take the hill for the Tortugas in game two. The Cardinals anticipate handing the ball to RHP José Moreno (1-5, 5.75) in the nightcap. Coverage on the Tortugas Radio Network will begin on the MiLB First Pitch app and www.daytonatortugas.com at 3:45 p.m. The first pitch is slated for 4 p.m.
