The teams will resume the game on Tuesday, August 21 at 5:05 p.m. and complete the full nine innings with a seven-inning game to follow…
Rupp’s blast, his second in a Wings uniform and first since June 12th, was estimated at 441 feet. He turned on an 0-1 off-speed pitch from IronPigs reliever Tom Windle.
