Mother Nature has had her way this week, and many local sports teams are paying for it by having to reschedule.
Nederland High announced that the Friday home varsity softball match against Central would move to Tuesday with a first-pitch time of 1:30 p.m. That will be the second game of a doubleheader for the Lady Bulldogs, who host Baytown Lee at 11:30 a.m.
Lamar State College Port Arthur has had to reschedule three doubleheaders in softball. Friday’s road games against Blinn College are moved to March 22, with the first game at 2 p.m. The home doubleheader against San Jacinto College scheduled for Saturday is reset for March 24 starting at 1 p.m., and the double dip at Angelina College in Lufkin is now set for 3 p.m. April 3.
Lamar University previously announced changes in its baseball and softball schedules. The baseball team will play a doubleheader at Northwestern State beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday to make up Friday’s postponement. The softball team’s doubleheader at Houston Baptist was pushed back a day and will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday with a twin bill, followed by a single game at 2 p.m. Sunday.
