Rain postpones 3A and 5A baseball tournaments to next week
DENVER — Continued rain caused further postponements in the Class 3A and 5A baseball tournaments on Friday.
Both tournaments have postponed games on Friday and Saturday to next week, according to CHSAA commissioner Bert Borgmann. They have been rescheduled rescheduled to next Tuesday and Wednesday. That is weather-permitting.
The 5A tournament will play games at All-City Field at noon and 2:30 p.m. on both days. In the event Tuesday and Wednesday are unavailable, the games would be moved to Friday and Saturday of next week.
The 5A semifinals were scheduled to play on Friday at All-City Field in Denver, but that field was unplayable. Here is an updated 5A bracket.
3A was to play semifinal games on Friday beginning at 10 a.m. at Butch Butler Field in Greeley. However, rain has left that field unplayable, as well.
Now, they’ll play beginning at 1 p.m. on Tuesday at Butch Butler, with the second game immediately following. Wednesday, play will begin at 3 p.m.

This is just the latest postponement constant rain has left in its wake for baseball. First, district games were postponed in every class. In 5A, they were pushed back so much that the class had to move to a Saturday/Sunday schedule on its first week.
The 3A and 4A tournaments also ran into weather last weekend, and had to play an abbreviated schedule. It left 3A completing its first weekend of play on Monday, and 4A on Thursday.
The 3A and 5A tournaments were to resume on Friday before further weather intervened. 4A is set to resume next Tuesday and Wednesday — weather-permitting, of course.
As of Friday morning, the 2A baseball tournament games scheduled for Saturday were still on as scheduled.
