Baseball: Rain showers halt Section 8-4A elimination game between Brainerd and Bemidji – Brainerd Dispatch

BEMIDJI – The Jacks tied the game just in time.

The Bemidji High School baseball team is currently tied 7-7 with eighth-seeded Brainerd at the end of the seventh inning and will remain so until noon Saturday, June 1. The game was suspended due to rain.

The fifth-seeded Lumberjacks trailed 7-5 in the sixth inning before JD Wood tied the game with two outs on a two-RBI double. The game was suspended less than 15 minutes later due to rain. If Brainerd had prevented Bemidji from tying the game, the seventh inning could have been waived and Brainerd would have advanced to the next round.

The Lumberjacks scored seven runs on ten hits. Brainerd had seven runs on six hits and scored five times on five errors by Bemidji.
