Rain washes out Mid-Penn baseball tourney

And the beat goes on.

After another rainy day, Mid-Penn officials decided to cancel this year's Mid-Penn baseball tournament.

West Perry advanced to the championship Monday with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Cumberland Valley. Moments after that game ended, a steady rain started to fall in Dillsburg.

That forced the second semifinal, between Lower Dauphin and Northern, to be moved to Wednesday. Strong storms that day postponed the second semifinal and the championship to Thursday at 4 and 6:30 p.m.

And, with more rain falling for most of Thursday, the conference put the postseason tournament out of its misery.

Up next in this rain-filled season is the District 3 tournament, which begins Friday with preliminary round games.
