Start is delayed by rain. Pitching for the Hens is dreaded Bats killer, Nate Bump.

Dayton is also in a rain delay.
The GCL boys had lightning stop their double header against the Rays. No word on if they actually completed anything today.
A look at Toledo radar shows that this game should be able to be played. Likely another ~ hour wait though. If it is not played, it will not be made up and the Bats' magic number drops from 4 to 3.
Toledo's video feed is now showing the Bugs Bunny classic, "Gone Batty"
"There's nothing in the rulebook that says an elephant can't pitch"
I hadn't counted before but the Bats 24-man roster now has 14 guys called up from Carolina. Plus Lew Ford. 7 of the 14 are pitchers.
Well, they canceled the Bats game.
Gotta like Alexander Smit's start tonight in Carolina: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K.
The Mudcats lead 1-0 in the 8th.
Sarasota loses 3-2 on a leadoff HR in the 9th. Good start for Matt Fairel: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K. Two hits each for Buchholz and Soto. Triple for Sappelt.
Carolina blows it in the 9th, 2-1. That's been a recurring theme in the Reds' system lately, Louisville aside.
Hotchkiss is finished for the night: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K. He has been outstanding as a starter. But Dayton trails 2-1 after 7.
2-run HR for Mark Fleury. Billings up 4-3 after three.
Dayton loses 3-1.
Fleury has hit another 2-run HR and Billings leads 6-4 in the sixth.
