CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It took seven hours, but the Blue Raiders (17-29, 10-13) were able to hang on to their lead to even the series against Charlotte (17-27-1, 8-14-1) in a weather altered game by a score of 3-2 Saturday evening in the Queen City.
Peyton Wigginton was on his way to a quality start, going five innings without allowing a single run, but the only thing that could stop the tall lefty, was lightning. Just before the start of the bottom of the sixth, the umpire crew was alerted to the severe weather that was moving its way into the area and decided to clear the field.
