GENEVA, N.Y. — Niagara made what they hoped to be a final journey to Geneva’s historic McDonough Park Tuesday Night, only to be turned away by rain. The Power, after making sure the team’s most historic season would be extended into August with a walk-off win in Monday night’s series opener, will be forced to wait until 7:00pm Wednesday for Game Two of the three game Division Championship matchup vs the Twins.
The Syracuse Jr. Chiefs and Geneva Red Wings were in the middle innings of Game Two of the Eastern Division Championship Series, also being played at McDonough Park, when the skies opened up. Syracuse leads the series 1-0, and the game 13-6, as they attempt to close out the other Geneva based team in the NYCBL’s final four. If weather holds, play will resume with the completion of the Eastern Division game at 3:00 pm before Niagara and the Geneva Twins battle it out in the nightcap.
Niagara is assured of at least one August playoff game at Sal Maglie Stadium. If the Twins even the series with a win in the re-scheduled contest, Game Three would be played on the shores of Hyde Park Lake at 7:00pm on Thursday. Should Niagara advance, they will host at least one League Championship Series game.
The Power will send Jonathan Knapp to the hill on Wednesday in an attempt to close out the second round and reach the first Championship Series in franchise history.
