Rained-out Rockets
Portland plays just three innings of doubleheader
Rained-out Rockets
The first two attempts at the Portland Rockets playing at home during their 60th season were washed out.
A third try on Saturday only made it three innings.
The Portland?Rockets trailed the Mishawaka Brewers 7-0 after the third inning on Saturday before rain picked up and forced the cancelation of a doubleheader and the Rockets’ chances at getting their first win of the season.
Portland, which had its May 26 doubleheader canceled because of rain and a June 5 game washed out because of poor field conditions, looked as if it was finally going to get the home portion of its schedule underway.
Early Saturday, Portland manager Randy Miller set in motion the attempt despite rain and thunderstorms heading toward the county from the west.
Rain began to fall and thunder roared shortly before first pitch, and the precipitation never stopped.
Portland starting pitcher Cody Krumlauf struggled to find the strike zone after sitting down Mishawaka leadoff hitter Brandon Scott on three straight pitches. Nick Ponce singled up the middle, and Krumlauf walked CJ?Swartz on four straight pitches. Max Kerr hit a two-run double to put the Brewers on top, 2-0.
Mishawaka tacked on five more runs an inning later. Angel Vargas hit an RBI single up the middle, Swartz knocked a two-run single and Krumlauf hit Will Swisher with bases loaded to make it 6-0 Brewers and chase Krumlauf from the game.
In 1 2/3 innings, Krumlauf gave up seven earned runs on three hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
Zane Gurrnsey singled with the bases loaded off Portland reliever Camden Pavey for the games’ final run.
Portland’s Zach Tanner walked with two outs in the first inning as the only baserunner for the Rockets. Following Tanner’s walk, Mishawaka pitcher Colin Greve retired the next seven Portland batters.
The Rockets, who have lost four straight games to start the season, travel to Carrington Field in Fort Wayne at 7 p.m. Tuesday to meet the Fort Wayne Blues. Portland’s next hope for a full home opener is a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Sunday against the?Blues.
