Rain hampers McCook Legion baseball slate

Monday, June 14, 2010

Mother Nature wreaked havoc on the weekend schedule for McCook's Legion baseball teams.

The McCook National Bank Seniors saw their games Saturday and Sunday, June 12-13, at the Sidney Wood Bat Tournament cancelled by rain.

The Seniors are set to host Ogallala Thursday, June 17, at 8 p.m. at the Jaycees Sports Complex, West 10th and M Streets and next door to the Red Willow County Fairgrounds.

Juniors, Juniors B

The McCook First Central Bank Juniors got three games in Friday night and Saturday at the Five Points Classic in Grand Island (results not available). The Juniors had their Sunday tournament games in Grand Island cancelled by rain.

The Juniors also cancelled a scheduled home double-header Wednesday, June 16, against Wauneta.

The Juniors are scheduled to host Ogallala Thursday, June 17, with a 5:30 p.m. start at the Jaycees Sports Complex.

The McCook Community Hospital Junior B teams were scheduled to visit Wauneta Sunday, but that double-header was also washed out. Those games will likely not be rescheduled, according to Junior B head coach Greg Larson.

The Junior B Reds are set to host Axtell Tuesday, June 15, in a single game starting at 6:30 p.m. The Junior B Blacks are scheduled to visit Alma Tuesday for a double-header starting at 6:30 p.m.
