EVANSVILLE - It was a wet and wild game, but the Monroe Senior Legion baseball team lived to play another day.
Monroe rallied and scored three runs in the fifth inning to tie Evansville at 8 before the game was suspended. Evansville pitchers walked five Monroe hitters and Tyler Malcook came through with a clutch, game-tying RBI single before umpires stopped the game due to weather.
Monroe will continue the game when Evansville comes to town at 5 p.m. Monday. The game will resume Monday in the fifth inning with Mitchell Riese up and runners on second and third, with one out. Following the conclusion of the suspended game, Monroe will play a regularly scheduled game against Evansville.
Matt Woodstock started for Monroe and pitched 3 2/3 innings before Ryan Erickson came in as a relief pitcher. Evansville scored five runs in the fourth. Erickson gave up two runs in the fourth.
"The conditions were terrible," Monroe coach Eric Losenegger said. "We probably had no business playing in that. We just wanted to play five innings to get the game in."
