Wilmington vs. Potomac – PPD
Like last night in Hagerstown, rain came after the first game. With both teams needing to hit the road, they opted to not play the second game. Unlike the Suns and ‘Hoppers, the P-Nats and Blue rocks do have one more series – Aug. 31st to Sep. 3rd. Best guess for the makeup date: Saturday, September 1st.
