COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The first game of the West Michigan Whitecaps six-game series against the Great Lakes Loons was postponed after steady rain throughout the day made field conditions unplayable Tuesday night at LMCU Ballpark.
Constant rain moving through West Michigan beginning in the late morning hours continued throughout the day, ultimately forcing the postponement out of respect for the health and safety of the participating players. The Whitecaps were ready to welcome back two players off their injured list in infielder Kevin McGonigle and catcher Josue Briceño, rated the Nos. 26 and 81 prospects in Major League Baseball per MLB Pipeline, who were activated before Tuesday’s scheduled contest.
The ‘Caps and Loons are now scheduled for a daytime doubleheader on Wednesday, with the first pitch scheduled for 11:00 am. The twin-bill will consist of two seven-inning games with a 40-minute break in between. The Whitecaps are expected to send pitchers Rayner Castillo and Joe Miller to the mound for games one and two, while Great Lakes counters with Cam Day and Wyatt Crowell.
