Another round of rain has pushed back some of the high school softball regional tournament one day.
Several semifinals scheduled for May 27 involving central Ohio teams have been postponed to May 28. A complete list is below.
One game, Mount Vernon against Green in Division II at Bellville Clear Fork, already had been pushed to May 28 before the remaining games were moved.
These postponements come after rain hampered most of the district tournament. Divisions I, III and V games were played as scheduled May 21, but others were completed as late as May 25 after multiple rounds of rain dumped as much as 5 inches on the Columbus area.
Here are the softball regional semifinals that have been moved to May 28. Regional finals are scheduled for May 29 and 30.
