From staff reports
Rowan Countyís home game with Kannapolis was rained out before a pitch was thrown on Tuesday and postponed until Sunday.
Rowan (14-6, 10-4) still has a chance to finish on top in the regular-season race in the Southern Division of Area III.
Kannapolis (3-9, 3-8) is scrambling just to qualify for the playoffs (eight of 10 teams make it) and still has two big games left with Rowan.
The teams also will meet on July 4 at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium.
Rowan is home against Concord tonight. South is home against Statesville. Kannapolis enjoys a night off.
n The Mooresville Moors were rained out for the third time in Wilkes County on Tuesday night.
The teams plan to play on Thursday afternoon. Wilkes already has a doubleheader scheduled for today and also will have to play on Thursday night.
n The Mooresville Legends were also washed out in their game with Statesville on Tuesday night.
n The playoffs are scheduled to start July 8. Rowan will be at home that night, assuming it finishes in the top four in the Southern Division of Area III.
n Major leagues
Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the New York Mets on Tuesday in a rout of the Detroit Tigers.
Parnell got three outs with just five pitches and lowered his ERA to 3.26.
n Minor leagues
Tacomaís Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus) continued his hitting rampage on Tuesday, collecting a single, double and triple in his first three at-bats in a late game at Las Vegas.
Seager is batting .560 (14-for-25) since his promotion to Triple A. The Mariners have him playing third base at Tacoma, which now looks like his quickest path to the big leagues. Seagerís former UNC teammate Dustin Ackley is playing second base in Seattle.
Seager is a .330 career hitter in the minors in 1,000 at-bats.
n The Kannapolis Intimidators will play a doubleheader against Hickory today after being washed out on Tuesday. First pitch will be at 5:05 p.m.
n Craige Lyerly (East Rowan, Catawba) went 2-for-2 with two steals for Hudson Valley in an 11-9 loss to Staten Island in the New York-Penn League on Tuesday.
Lyerly may have suffered an injury stealing third base, as the boxscore indicated he was replaced by a pinch-runner.
n Keegan Linza (North Rowan) worked out of an eighth-inning jam and helped Bristol beat Bluefield 8-7 in the Appalachian League on Tuesday.
Linza entered from the bullpen in the eighth and gave up a single and a double to put runners at second and third with no outs.
He got some help from his left fielder, who threw out a runner at the plate tagging up on a flyball. Then he got the third out on a groundball.
Linza has made three one-inning relief appearances and hasnít given up a run. He isnít likely to receive a heavy workload after pitching a lot of innings at Liberty.
