Battle Creek, Mich. – Today's interleague matchup between the Battle Creek Bombers and the Waterloo Bucks has been postponed. Rain began to fall right before the scheduled 7:05 start time tonight and did not let up.
The Bombers and Bucks will play a doubleheader of seven-inning games tomorrow, Sunday June 14th, with game one's first pitch scheduled for 3:05 p.m. The second game will be the regularly scheduled 6:05 p.m. game, but will also only span seven innings.

It is also Sunday Family Fun Day presented by Meijer, Reading Program Celebration Night, and Princess & Pirate Night presented by DeRose Family Dentistry. Fans can also stick around for an Inflatamaniacs Entertainment performance and fireworks following the conclusion of game two.
Fans who had tickets to today's game can redeem them for a general admission ticket at any 2015 Bombers home game.
