PawSox Game Rained Out, Doubleheader Set for Sunday

PawSox news release…

(Pawtucket, RI) – Tonight’s (Saturday’s) scheduled International League game between the host Pawtucket Red Sox and the Buffalo Bisons at McCoy Stadium has been postponed due to strong rains which caused the field to be unplayable.

The game will be made-up as part of a single-admission doubleheader tomorrow (Sunday) beginning at 11:35 am at McCoy. 

Fans holding box seat tickets or general admission tickets (without a specific rainout date printed on them) for Saturday can trade those in for any remaining regular-season game at McCoy based on availability. 

Tonight’s rainout is the fifth at home this season for the PawSox.  Pawtucket had just one home rainout all of last season (April 20, 2015) and only one in all of 2014 as well.  The Sox had three home rainouts in both 2012 & 2013.  Until this season, they had not had more than three home postponements here at McCoy in a season since 2006 (6 rainouts that year).

The PawSox are scheduled to start RHP Justin Haley (5-3, 3.62) in game one and RHP Sean O’Sullivan (6-4, 3.84) in game two. The Bisons are scheduled to throw RHP Mike Bolsinger (NR) in game one and RHP Casey Lawrence (2-4, 3.86) in game two.
