GLEN ELLYN, Ill. – MATC baseball was well on their way to earning a road doubleheader split with College of DuPage Thursday before Game 2 got suspended due to rain.
After taking a 7-5 defeat in the opener, Game 2 was suspended in the top of the fifth, where the Stormers held an 8-4 lead. This game will resume action at 3 p.m. Wednesday (Apr. 23) at COD. The game will resume with bases-loaded and no-outs with a 1-0 count to Stormers'
Carlito Collins.
"Game 2 was a solid start," MATC head coach
Caleb Bounds said. "It was unfortunate we could get one more inning in, but we will head back Wednesday to finish the game. We just have to come out ready to go and finish the job for Game 2."
