DENVER — A thunderstorm which left a two-hour lightning delay in its wake on Saturday has caused some changes to the Class 5A state baseball bracket.

With the 1A title game scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday evening at All-City Stadium, one half of the 5A bracket was unable to complete play following a two-hour, 26-minute delay of a first-round game.

The result, according to CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann, is that the second-round game between Cherry Creek and Chatfield on Saturday has been moved to Sunday. It will be played at 10 a.m. at All-City Field.

In addition, the following changes have been made:

• Game 11, which will match the two remaining unbeaten teams on Sunday, has been moved to 5 p.m. at Metro State.
• Game 7, between Grandview and Monarch, will be played at 12:30 p.m. at All-City.
• Game 8, between Rock Canyon and Pine Creek, will be played at 10 a.m. at Metro State.
• Game 9 is now at 3 p.m. at All-City.
• Game 10 is at 1:30 p.m. at Metro State.

All changes have been updated on the 5A bracket.
