Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. – Due to heavy rain, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters and Wisconsin Woodchucks were forced to cancel the May 26th home opener. The Rafters and Woodchucks will make up yesterday’s canceled ballgame today as part of a double header.

The first game of the doubleheader will begin at 5:05, with gates opening at 4:05, and will be a 7 inning game, making up the rainout from Opening Day. The regularly scheduled game will begin 30 minutes following the completion of the make-up game. All fans in attendance will receive a magnet schedule, courtesy of Nieman’s Service in Wisconsin Rapids and will be treated to a live performance by the ZOOperstars! One ticket will be good for both games of the doubleheader.  

If you had a ticket for tonight’s regularly scheduled game (May 27th), the ticket will allow you to occupy your seat for both games of the doubleheader. All fans with Opening Day tickets will be able to exchange their unused tickets to any remaining game during the 2015 regular season, based on availability.

All Rafters 9 Game Pack, Solarus Founders Club, Point Craft River, and Home Plate club tickets from May 26th, can be exchanged out for any ticket for any remaining regular season game with the all-you-can-eat and drink amenities that are normally included in the ticket price.
