Rain Out

Zebulon , NC --- Wednesday's rubber game between the Carolina Mudcats and Birmingham Barons has been postponed due to rain.

 At the time of the postponement, a steady rain had fallen across the Triangle since the early hours of the morning, with temperatures in the mid 40s.  The forecast was for stronger storms throughout the evening.

 The game will not be made up since the Barons and Mudcats do not meet again in the first half.  Carolina defeated the Barons 5-4 on Monday to remain unbeaten after five games, but lost for the first time last night 3-1.

Carolina , leading the Northern Division by one game after a 5-1 start, will embark on its first road trip of the season Thursday, heading to Huntsville for three games and Chattanooga for four.  The series with the Stars begins at Joe Davis Stadium on Friday night at 8:05 PM ET .  The Mudcats swept Huntsville four straight games to open the Southern League season. 

The Mudcats return home Friday, April 22 against the Tennessee Smokies for an abbreviated three-game homestand.  Tickets are available at www.gomudcats.com, www.etix.com or by calling (919) 269-2287.
