MiLB.com indicates the Tides game has been delayed...

[Gulfbird44]

Looks like the Tides - Indians game is getting ready to start and now the Keys - Hillcats are in a rain delay...

[Gulfbird44]

Per the Keys website...


After four innings this evening at City Stadium, rain put a halt to the series finale between Frederick and Lynchburg. The series finale has been cancelled with the game tied 0-0 headed to the top of the fifth inning. The game will not be remade do to the fact that both teams do not play again in the first half. This is the first game the Keys have lost in 2009

Per the Keys website...

So do the stats from the first four innings of the game just get wiped out?
