District 9 Baseball and Softball:
The rainy weather in the Tri-County area Wednesday almost completely wrecked the District 9 baseball and softball schedules.
The DuBois at Clearfield, DuBois Central Catholic at Brookville, and Cameron County at Elk County Catholic baseball games were all canceled.
Meanwhile, in softball, the DuBois at Clearfield and Glendale at Curwensville games were postponed; and the Otto-Eldred at Elk County Catholic game was canceled.
Brockway and Punxsutawney played into the third inning before their game was suspended. The Lady Rovers had built a 6-1 lead over the Lady Chucks. However, it is unlikely that the game will be completed.
