South Bend was leading 5-4 when the rains came, but safety for fans and players alike was certainly more important. The stats from the game will not count for the individual players since the game is not official.
Although the statistics do not officially count, they are still illustrative for
the purposes of scouting the Silver Hawks prospects involved. It isn't as
though Beloit starter Jhon Garcia had been pitching differently thinking that
the game might be cancelled.
Among the South Bend players robbed of their statistics from this game, Keon Broxton stands out. He had been 2-for-2 with a home run prior to the
cancellation. It would have been his fifth multi-hit game in his past 10
contests, his second homer in four games, and would have raised his season
batting average from .233 to .238. The one solace Broxton can take from
the game is that his ninth caught stealing of the season was erased.
Other soon-to-be-forgotten performances include Ender Inciarte's eighth outfield
assist of the season being negated in the game. Inciarte is still learning
the right field position with Broxton entrenched in center, and is beginning to
look like he may in fact have enough arm for that position, although he is still
making some bad decisions on where to throw the ball. Also on the
defensive side, a caught stealing authored by catcher Tyson Van Winkle has been
lost to the storm. Van Winkle is 17-for-74 (23%) in gunning down
baserunners this season, and the nailing of Beloit leadoff hitter Aaron Hicks
was no doubt a nice confidence boost after a recent game in which he allowed
eight steals without nabbing a single one.
On the offensive side of things, shortstop Victor Estevez missed out on nearly
doubling his RBI total with the Silver Hawks when his two-run triple
disappeared. That triple would have literally doubled Estevez' season
output, but now he is stuck with just one. Among the rest of the lineup,
everyone contributed to an extent, either scoring or driving in a run.
The only player on the team who might be glad to have his Friday night
performance erased is starting pitcher Scottie Allen. The 19-year-old
phenom had been having one of his worst outings of the season, as he had allowed
nine baserunners and four runs in fewer than four innings of work.
