THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SCHEDULING INFORMATION AND WILL BE UPDATED AS MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE

Three RCBL games got underway at 7:30 on Wednesday evening. None of them ended up being completed.

Thunderstorms that had been passing through the Shenandoah Valley all day caused all three games to be suspended after starting play.

The Elkton Blue Sox were at home facing the Bridgewater Reds in their home opener. Rain started to fall in the bottom of the first as the Blue Sox had runners on the corners.

Bridgewater scored twice in the top of the second to take a 2-0 lead before the rain really started coming down, causing the game to go into a delay.

Just moments later, players from both teams started leaving the dugouts, signaling that the game was suspended and would be made up at a later date.

RCBL Media Director Matthew Atkins was at the game providing updates via Twitter.

40 miles down Route 340, the Stuarts Draft Diamondbacks were hosting the Broadway Bruins. According to RCBL reporter Nick Stevens, Broadway scored three runs in the top of the first to take an early lead as rain started to fall at the Diamond Club.

In between the two games, Grottoes was hosting Montezuma in the only game that had gone long enough to be considered an official game.

Except neither team had scored a run at the time of postponement.  

The Cardinals and Bruins were tied 0-0 when the skies opened and rain started falling at Shifflett Field.

At the time of publishing this article, none of the teams had announced completion dates for Wednesday night’s games.  
​
There are no RCBL games scheduled for Thursday night. A full slate of games is scheduled for Friday night with games at Grottoes, Montezuma, Elkton and Clover Hill. For a complete schedule, visit RCBLBaseball.com/schedule.
