After keeping their championship hopes alive with a gruelling 17-inning win Monday, the Winnipeg Goldeyes and their fans are going to have to wait a little longer for the fifth and final game of the American Association Championships.
The team announced Tuesday that Game 5 will be played Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Shaw Park.
The game had been scheduled to go Tuesday but was postponed due to the threat of thunderstorms.
The Goldeyes forced Game 5 in the best-of-five American Association Championship series Monday, defeating the Wichita Wingnuts 4-3 in a marathon game that ended after 1 a.m.
Environment Canada is calling for showers with heavy thunderstorms at times in Winnipeg starting early Tuesday evening.

And what looked like a done deal in the bottom of the ninth turned into 8 more innings and the outcome they weren't looking for. The CBC's Meagan Fiddler spoke with Goldeyes broadcaster Steve Schuster about the bizarre call and the upcoming must-win game 5.
