By special to Fort Myers News-Press Mother Nature again wreaked havoc on the Florida State League as the Fort Myers Miracle and Tampa Yankees were forced to suspend play in the second inning Thursday night at Hammond Stadium. The Miracle lead the contest 3-0 behind a two-run shot by Erik Lis and a sacrifice fly off of Jeff Christy's bat in the second. The first thunderstorm delayed the start of the contest by 21 minutes, before the second storm hit 45 minutes later. The Miracle will have runners at first and second, with two outs, and Steve Tolleson at the plate. The suspended game will be resumed and played in its entirety beginning at 5:05 p.m. today. A seven-inning game will follow for the regularly scheduled matchup between the Miracle and Yanks. New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi is slated to be the designated hitter in game two for Tampa. It will be the first game of a rehabilitation assignment for Giambi. Webposted on July 27, 2007
