On Monday, Bucyrus slipped past Fremont, 9-8 and Shelby routed New London, 20-0. The losses eliminated Fremont and New London from the six-team tournament.
Play resumes on Saturday, when Galion faces Bellevue in the winners’ bracket at 10 a.m. Bucyrus looks to stay alive in the losers’ bracket with a noon game versus Shelby.
The Bucyrus-Shelby loser will be eliminated, and the winner will play the Galion-Bellevue loser on Sunday.
The survivor of the losers’ bracket will play the team emerging from the winners’ bracket on Monday. If the losers’ bracket wins the Monday game, a second game would be necessary to determine a champion.
