HAMILTON — The State A softball tournament's championship round has been postponed.
A rain delay halted state tournament play in Hamilton at 2 p.m. Saturday, just minutes before the championship game between Hamilton and Laurel was set to begin.
The rain delay lasted 90 minutes before tournament officials announced the game would not be played on Saturday.
Instead, Hamilton and Laurel will meet at Stodden Park in Butte at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The State A softball tournament is double elimination, meaning Laurel needs to win two in a row over Hamilton to take home the state title.
Hamilton advanced to the championship round from the winners' half of the bracket. The Broncs beat Frenchtown 15-7 in the undefeated semifinal Saturday morning.
Laurel run-ruled Frenchtown 11-1 in the third-place game right afterward to clinch its berth to the championship round.
