Sea Dogs rained out for sixth time at home

The Portland Sea Dogs game with the Akron RubberDucks Tuesday at Hadlock Field was postponed by rain.

The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader, beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The teams will play two 7-inning games.

Right-handed pitcher Elih Villanueva, who was scheduled to make his Hadlock Field debut Tuesday, will start one of the games on Wednesday. The other starter has not been determined.

The Mookie Betts bobblehead giveaway will continue Wednesday. Those fans already in line Tuesday received dolls. Sea Dogs officials could not say how many remain. Gates will open at 3:30 p.m.

The postponement is the Sea Dogs 12th this season – with 52 games played – and the sixth at Hadlock Field.
