Steady rain, lightning and thunder suspended play between the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, the Somerset Patriots, and the Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, Reading Fightin' Phils.
The game was tied at four in the top of the ninth inning.
The game will resume on Tuesday, August 15 at FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading. Somerset will be the designated home team for the make-up contest, which will take place before the regularly scheduled game at 7:05.
Elijah Dunham (3-for-4, HR) and Matt Pita (1-for-4, HR, 2 RBI) each recorded their first homers of the year at Double-A.
Richard Fits got the start for Somerset, tossing six brilliant innings, allowing only an earned run on three hits.
