Olson scheduled to start for the Herd

May 21, 2012 - 6:07 PM

Well it's 6 p.m. and the tarp is still on field as showers pass through downtown Buffalo. There is blue sky to be seen from the stadium so hope remains that the 7:05 game between the Buffalo Bisons and Indianpolis Indians will go off as scheduled.

Bisons starter Garrett Olson will face his former team for the first time today. Olson was 4-3 with a 3.05 earned run average for the Indians last year. This year with the Herd, he is 1-3 with 3.59 ERA.

Tonight's Bison lineup:

Corey Wimberly -- CF
Fred Lewis -- LF
Josh Satin -- 1B
Valentino Pascucci -- RF
Matt Tuiasosopo -- 3B
Brad Emaus -- 2B
Lucas May -- C
Omar Quintanilla -- SS
Garrett Olson -- P
