Weather causes postponements with WNCC events

The Western Nebraska Community College baseball team will have to wait an extra day to begin their first-round Region IX playoff series with Northeastern Junior College. The two teams were supposed to play Friday and Saturday, but because of weather conditions, the series has been pushed back to Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday’s action will begin at 2 p.m. at Cleveland Field, while Sunday’s action will start at noon, with a if-necessary game to follow. The series is a best 2-out-3 format, with all games 9 innings. Admission to the regional playoffs is $3 for adults and $1 for students.

Also postponed one day is the WNCC Turf Challenge volleyball tournament that was scheduled to begin Saturday at Lacy Park. The tournament will now just be held on Sunday. WNCC volleyball coach Giovana Melo said that registrations for the doubles tournament are still being accepted for just $20 a person.

Melo also said that if individuals want to partner up with a Cougar volleyball player, bids are still being accepted. Only three players have received bids so far for an individual to have one of the players on their doubles team. To register for the tournament, contact Melo at 308-635-6028 or melog@wncc.net.
