Notes & reviews

it began to rain
raining very hard
Nels Potter slipped and fell on the muddy field
Nels Potter pitched out on an attempted squeeze play; the Braves argued that Dave Koslo offered at the two strike pitch, but HP umpire Frank Dascoli called it a ball
game called for rain; after a brief conference at HP, the umpires ruled the field was unplayable and called the game as a tie
