The No. 3 DeQuincy Tigers will have to wait a little longer to play its first semifinal game since 2001.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms at the Louisiana High School Athletic Association state baseball tournament bumped their game against No. 2 Logansport Wednesday at 11 a.m. on Field 37.
“It is the best case scenario they can come up with,” DeQuincy head coach Brady Carlson said. “It is not ideal. but both teams have to play in it.
“At least we are close and can sleep in our own beds. Other than that I feel good about it. As long as we get to play, it is not big deal to us.”
In the other nonselect Division IV semifinal game, No. 1 Oak Grove will play No. 12 Mangham Wednesday at 2 p.m. on Field 37.
All games that were originally scheduled for Wednesday will started as planned, baring any more weather delays. Wednesday’s forecast calls for nearly a 100 percent chance of rain.
The first day of the state tournament was delayed twice by severe weather, and the Sulphur area received more than 1.2 inches of rain.
The first round of games that started at 11 a.m. didn’t finish until almost 4 p.m. The 2 p.m. games were started then stopped and didn’t resume until 7:45 p.m.
Due to local laws, no game can start after 10 p.m. and the field lights have to be turned off by 1 a.m.
