FCHS baseball game canceled

Pioneers start postseason Thursday

Posted

Friday's Fort Calhoun baseball game at Lincoln Christian was canceled just hours before first pitch by rain and wet field conditions.
The schedule change left the Pioneers (6-14 overall) with just two more regular season games to go. They were scheduled to face West Point GACC on Monday and host Falls City today at 4:30 p.m.
Coach Roy Prauner's team entered the two-game homestand 4-4 across its last eight games. It's beaten Louisville, Douglas County West, South Sioux City and Thurston-Cuming County during the two-week stretch.
Calhoun entered the April 14 start of the Nebraska Capitol Conference Tournament 2-10 and has three times as many wins now.
Once the regular season concludes, however, FCHS will play in the Class C District 5 Tournament at Buffalo Park in Springfield. The host Platteview Trojans are the No. 1 seed. They face Falls City at 4 p.m. Thursday before the No. 3 Pioneers' first-round game against second-seeded Omaha Roncalli at 6:30.
The winners of Thursday's games play Friday for the district title — and an automatic berth into the first NSAA Class C State Tournament since 1960.
