Lightning, thunder cause delay for Suns, Biscuits

We're in a lightning delay. The Suns lead 5-1 in the middle of the fourth. A flash and a nice clap of thunder came during Smelin Perez's at-bat that ended the fourth. After his strikeout, third-base umpire Chris Ward, who had the angle to see the lightning, reported it to home-plate umpire Booter West and the umps motioned for the Suns not to take the field.

8:12: A light rain brought out the tarp. While the Biscuits' front office was pulling it over the field, a good shower began.

9:01: Rainout. Suspended game to be finished Wednesday.
