“I felt fine,” Lee said after the game. “I threw two cutters and everything else was a fastball. You could see the weather coming, so I was trying to hurry.”

The game was suspended with Clearwater leading, 2-0, and will be resumed Monday at 5:05 p.m.

A regulation seven-inning game will start approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the suspended game.

The second game of Sunday’s scheduled doubleheader was postponed and will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday, August 9 at Space Coast Stadium. First pitch will be at 5:05 p.m.
