PENDLETON —
The New Albany 11-12 Baseball All-Starts semifinal contest against Evansville Golfmoor in the Indiana State Tournament at Pendleton Little League was postponed due to rain on Wednesday. It has been rescheduled for 6:30 tonight.
The championship game has been moved to Friday. New Albany coach John Striegel said the final is likely to be played in the mid-afternoon, likely at 2 or 3 p.m.
Wednesday’s first semifinal between Terre Haute North and Bedford was delayed with North leading 4-2 in the top of the sixth inning. While the New Albany-Golfmoor game was rescheduled tonight, Indiana Little League was hoping to complete the North-Bedford contest on Wednesday night.
An update was not available at deadline.
New Albany is 4-0 in the state tournament with four easy victories. It is averaging 11 runs per contest and has surrendered just six total runs.
• HYR 15-16s drop opener at Greenwood: Highlander Youth Recreation’s 15-16-year-old All-Star baseball team was beaten 12-2 by defending state champion South Bend Wagner in its opening game at Greenwood on Wednesday.
HYR opened the game with two runs in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. Anthony Sneed followed an Evan Manias single with a two-run homer for an early HYR advantage.
After the first inning, however, HYR managed just one more hit — a single by Will Mayberry in the third inning of the five-inning contest.
“(Wagner) was the team that won the state championship, so we’re hoping (tonight) we would fare a little better,” HYR manager Joe Ruttle said.
HYR is back in action this afternoon against Portage at 5, then it will face Seymour at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the final pool-play contest.
