Asheville – The Asheville Tourists’ scheduled game against the Rome Emperors on July 19 has been postponed due to rain. The game has been rescheduled for Thursday, August 21, and will take place during a six-game series in Asheville. This rescheduled matchup will consist of two seven-inning contests, designed to accommodate the delayed game while allowing fans to enjoy an exciting day of baseball.

The postponement follows a challenging time for the Emperors, who had just returned from a four-day All-Star break, only to find their series against Asheville significantly affected by inclement weather. Currently, the Emperors hold a record of 38-49 overall this season and are 9-13 in the second half of the South Atlantic League (SAL) season. They are currently five games behind Hub City, who leads the second-half playoff chase with a 15-9 record.

During the initially scheduled game, pitcher William Silva was tasked with starting the eighth inning but faced difficulties, allowing five earned runs that exacerbated Rome’s struggle on the mound. The game’s high-scoring nature was reflective of a more challenging performance from the Rome pitching staff, as highlighted by the fact that the last time the team permitted at least 14 runs was on July 27, 2022, in a game against the Hickory Crawdads, resulting in a 14-6 loss.

Despite the setback, Rome’s offense bounced back in their subsequent game after the postponement, delivering an impressive performance that saw them rack up a total of 14 hits. Among the standout players were Mason Guerra and Luis Sanchez, who played pivotal roles in the offensive push, scoring three runs in the third inning. Notably, Guerra and teammate Justin Janas had two hits each during the prior game that was postponed, affirming their capabilities at the plate.

For fans holding tickets for the July 19 game, the Asheville Tourists have announced that these tickets can be exchanged for any future game through 2025. This provides fans with extended options to catch their favorite team in action even beyond the original scheduled date.

In the games surrounding the postponement, pitchers Cedric De Grandpre and Jacob Kroeger each made impressive contributions to the team’s overall defensive efforts, showcasing resilience in the face of prior struggles. As the season continues to unfold, both teams will look towards their upcoming matchups to either solidify playoff positions or make a strong, late-season push.
