MARSHFIELD – Play was suspended early Wednesday night at the Wisconsin Class AAA American Legion State Baseball Tournament at Jack Hackman Field and will not resume until Friday morning.
Play was originally scheduled to resume Thursday morning but endless rain forced all games to be postponed to Friday.
De Pere (22-9) eliminated Neenah (13-8) with a 10-3 win Wednesday morning, and Wausau (19-18) tagged Sheboygan (19-20) 18-2 to stay alive in the double-elimination tournament.
The start of the winners’ bracket game between Beloit (27-5)-Madison Impact (29-3) game was delayed by rain, then suspended with Madison leading 7-1 in the eighth inning. The two teams will resume play at 9 a.m. Friday. Marshfield (23-7) will take on Eau Claire (27-7) at 10 a.m. in the other winners’ bracket game.
Play will move on to elimination games with Wausau taking on the loser of the Beloit-Madison game at 1 p.m. De Pere will play the loser of the Marshfield-Eau Claire game at 4 p.m. The final game between undefeated teams – the winners of the Beloit-Madison and Marshfield-Eau Claire games – will be at 7 p.m.
