LANSING, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps ballgame scheduled for Tuesday against the Lansing Lugnuts has been postponed due to inclement weather at Jackson Field.
Heavy thunderstorms approaching the first pitch proved too much to play the originally scheduled ballgame, leading to the postponement. Tuesday’s postponement becomes the eighth gameday to see a rainout for West Michigan and the first since the second game of a doubleheader was washed out on August 13 at Classic Park against the Lake County Captains.
Tuesday’s game is scheduled to be made up in a Wednesday doubleheader beginning at 6:00 pm. Both games will last seven innings in duration, with a 30-minute break in-between contests. Wednesday will become the eighth doubleheader for West Michigan this season, with the ‘Caps having posted an 8-5 record in those circumstances.
