DENVER — Good news: It looks like the state baseball tournaments in classes 3A-5A will finally play on Tuesday. Bad news: Further bad weather has again messed with the schedule.
A late-evening storm in the metro area on Monday left some moisture in its wake.
As a result, said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann, the 4A tournament has moved its location to Metro State for Tuesday and Wednesday, and will also delay games by an hour both days.
The first game in 4A will now start at 1 p.m. both days, with the second immediately following. (The second game on Wednesday will only play if it is necessary.)
In 5A, the site remains the same — All-City Field in Denver — but the start time has also been pushed back by an hour for Tuesday’s games. That first game will also begin at 1 p.m., with the second immediately afterward. Wednesday’s games remain scheduled for 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
As of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, the 3A tournament will remain as scheduled. That tournament is at Butch Butler Field in Greeley.
Weather, especially rain, has hampered play in all three classes since district play began on May 9.
Here are the updated brackets for each class:
