ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Thursday’s scheduled doubleheader in Asheville was postponed because of the weather.

The teams will now play a single-admission doubleheader Friday, beginning at 4:35 p.m. Game One will resume in the third inning and be played to nine innings. Game Two will follow about 30 minutes later and be seven innings. Gates open at 4 p.m., and a fireworks show will follow the second game.

Saturday’s game is no longer a doubleheader and will begin at its originally scheduled time of 6:05 p.m., with gates opening at 4:30 p.m. A jersey giveaway will also begin at 4:30.

Sunday’s contest will now feature a single-admission doubleheader with two seven-inning games. The opener is scheduled for 1:05 p.m., with Game Two starting 30 minutes after the first ends.

Tickets from any rainout this season may be exchanged for equal-value admission to a remaining 2025 game, subject to availability.
