Because of increasing chances of rain this weekend, the Region VI Baseball Tournament Hutchinson Sub-Regional has been moved up a day and will start on Thursday at Hobart-Detter Field.
The weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday prompted the Hutchinson Community College Athletic Department and Region VI officials to move the tournament up a day. The four-team double-elimination tournament will now run from Thursday through Saturday.
Sub-regional tournaments at Overland Park and Arkansas City have also made the change to Thursday through Saturday. Only the Liberal sub-regional maintained its original schedule and will open Friday.
The Hutchinson Blue Dragons (35-15) and Highland (9-32) open the sub-regional at Noon Thursday. Allen (31-17) and Colby (26-23) will play in the second opening-round game.
Admission will be $10 per person per day with kids age 5 and under admitted free.
All games from the Hutchinson sub-regional will be streamed on the Blue Dragon Sports Network.
The four sub-regional winners move into the Region VI Super-Regional on May 22-24 at Dean Evans Stadium in Salina.
