The Muckdogs’ game tonight against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers was postponed due to rain.

The teams will play two, seven-inning games tomorrow, Thursday July 2. First pitch for game one will be at 5:05 p.m. with the second game to directly follow the conclusion of game one.

All tickets for tonight’s game (7/1) can be redeemed for any future home game.

It may have only rained for 20 minutes where you were Jeff but it rained off & on until after dark not far from the city. Accurately forecasting what's going to happen when & where is a rarity around here.

"well i was IN the city and after that 20 minute downpour it didnt rain again until after 10 pm and that was only a sprinkle."

How good of a drainage system does the field have, where the Muckdogs play?

If this were Frontier Field here in Rochester, they would have played; however, the field has a great drainage system that was installed in it when it was built downtown in 1996.

Jeff... I was close to completing an outdoor project when the rain started and I monitored the local radar loop until dark hoping to get it finished up, but the rain cells kept popping up out of nowhere all over Genesee county.

Both Rochester & Buffalo METEOROLOGISTS had predicted scattered showers until midnight. Those people are "in the business" of predicting weather and none of them could predict when, where or how much it would rain. If the Muckdogs' management have the ability to accurately predict weather superior to the Meteorologists in Buffalo, Rochester and the National Weather Service they're missing out on some serious revenue.
