The non-conference baseball game between Poland and LaBrae was suspended after four innings due to an impending storm at Eastwood Field in Niles on Wednesday evening. The decision to suspend the game was made after rain began to fall lightly during the fourth inning, prompting the umpires, coaches, and groundskeeper to meet and ultimately call for a suspension.
Both LaBrae head coach Ed Anthony and Poland head coach Rich Murray expressed frustration with the unpredictable spring weather that has disrupted their schedules. Despite the challenges, both coaches are eager to resume the game and play a full seven innings.
Poland’s pitcher Ryan Dilullo faced some struggles on the mound, walking multiple batters and loading the bases in the first and second innings. However, he managed to escape both innings without allowing any runs, thanks to some key strikeouts and defensive plays.
The game is set to resume today at Eastwood Field, with Poland’s Aiden Thompson due up to lead off the fifth inning. The teams will pick up where they left off, hoping for better weather conditions to finish the game.
The coaches and players are determined to overcome the obstacles presented by the weather and continue their season with a competitive spirit. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of this suspended baseball game between Poland and LaBrae.
