 The Tri-City Valleycats are hoping the rain doesn't ruin their night tonight.

Tri-City will look to extend their streak of winning home series to 16 if they can beat Quebec tonight at Bruno Stadium after the Capitales shut down the 'Cats to the tune of a 10-0 beatdown Wednesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 pm.

O'Keefe's average drops to .111 after yesterday.
