The Buffalo Bisons' series finale against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders was rained out Sunday in Moosic, Pa. The teams are expected to agree on a makeup date later this week.
The Bisons are 12-10 after going 1-3 while enduring three rainouts during what was supposed to be a six-game series in Scranton. Wednesday's game was suspended and finished Thursday with a 4-2 Scranton win. Friday's game was also rained out and will be made up Sept. 2.
The Bisons suffered a 3-2 loss in what turned into the series finale on Saturday. Kevin Smith's two-run single in the third provided the Buffalo runs but Nick Allgeyer (1-2) gave up a pair of home runs in the bottom of the inning to account for all the Scranton runs.
The Bisons went 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base. They have lost three straight, scoring just two runs in each game. Scranton (16-6) leads the Northeast Division of Triple-A East while the Bisons are fourth, four games back.

Buffalo went 9-3 on its first homestand of the season in Trenton Thunder Ballpark but went only 3-7 on its first road trip, to Worcester and Scranton. The Bisons are off Monday and return to Trenton to open another 12-game stand Tuesday night against Syracuse. The Mets will be the opponent for the first six games before the Herd hosts Scranton from June 8-13.
New Jersey regulations are now allowing Trenton to sell all the tickets in its 6,100-seat ballpark. The club was limited to a capacity of about 1,600 for Buffalo's first homestand and sold out each game.
