The weather has been miserable, and the Mahoning Valley Scrappers and Staten Island Yankees have probably played more pinochle than baseball in the last 48 hours.

On Friday, a scheduled doubleheader was almost halfway completed when Mother Nature decided the corn needed more water.  The Scrappers were ahead, 5-3,  in the seventh when play was delayed.  The game would never resume and the result was a win for the Scrappers to push to 20-18 on the season.

Jake Sisco picked up his first professional win for Mahoning Valley throwing 5-2/3 innings and surrendering three earned runs off of seven hits.  Sisco has exited plenty of games with leads only to watch the bullpen buckle to prevent him of getting into the win column.

Offensively, Mahoning Valley put all the runs they would need on the board in their half of the second inning.   With one out, Evan Frazar singled.  Jeremy Lucas followed with a walk.

Juan Romero (above) reached on an infield single to load the bases.  Robel Garcia then doubled home both Frazar and Lucas.  Hunter Jones followed with a single to plate Romero and Garcia.

The Scrappers never trailed.

Brooklyn now comes in tomorrow for three games starting with Saturday’s scheduled 7:05 start.
