More on the Outlaws Twilight Zone Rainout.
By Eric JonesThe rain came fast and with the sun shining steadily at Hawkins Field. At first, you figured that it was just a quick cloudburst, typical of a 98 degree Nashville summer day, but then it just started coming down harder.
Outlaws GM, Brandon Vonderharr admitted that he was glad the rain didn't come sooner as Hannibal had just got into their dugout when it started. "I don't think Jay Hemond (Hannibal's manager) would have believed me that it was even raining. Blue skies and here we are dumbfounded that it's even raining at all and then it comes down harder." Vonderharr and the staff didn't even have time to get the tarp in position as it looked to be a passing shower. The downpour ended up like a Bill Veeck promotion gone bad and washed the game out completely.
There might be some Veeck-esque pretense here after all. Jay Hemond is the son of former Chicago White Sox general manager Roland Hemond who served under Bill Veeck for many years. Although the Outlaws-Cavemen rainout won't rank up there with Veeck's 1979 Disco Demolition promotion where he actually blew up part of Comiskey Park's field, the oddity of the situation will go down as the first rainout in Outlaws history...under sunny skies.
Tuesday Outlaw Game Postponed
By TY

Outlaws storm back to beat Miners
By TYBox Score
BECKLEY, W. Va. – Trailing 2-0 heading into the eighth, the Nashville Outlaws staged its biggest comeback of the season by scoring six runs in over the final two innings to knock-off West Virginia, 6-2 at Linda K. Epling Stadium on Sunday.
With the win, the Outlaws clinched the series (took two out of three) over the Miners while improving to 7-8 overall. After losing four of five games from June 9-13, the Outlaws have now four of its last five games dating back to June 15.

Nashville trailed 2-0 heading into the eighth as they had five hits and no runs to show for off West Virginia starter Andrew Smith who struck out five in five shutout innings.
The Outlaws got to the Miner bullpen in the eighth though when they sent nine guys to the plate in a 5-run inning. Nashville was aided by two costly West Virginia errors in the inning that led to two unearned runs.
With Nashville clinging to a 5-2 lead heading into the ninth, the Outlaws added one more insurance run in their last at-bat when Greg Bachman (Austin Peay) drove in Sam Dove (Georgia Tech) from third on a two-out RBI single.
For the third time in three days, the Outlaws got another solid start out of its starting pitcher. On Sunday, Daniel Palo (Middle Tennessee) allowed two runs on four hits in 6.1 innings with five strikeouts and three walks to earn the no-decision.
Steven Murray (TCU) picked up the win after throwing 1.1 innings of no-hit scoreless relief while closer Jon Ivie (Belmont) threw a perfect-ninth to earn his league-leading fourth save of the season.
Offensively Sunday, Doug Joyce (Florida International) continued his hot-bat, going 3-for-5 with 2 RBI, a double and run scored. Jack Lupo (Vanderbilt) went 2-for-4 while Johnny Amann (Judson) drove in two-runs on an RBI single in the eighth.
