Update No. 6: D-10 is waiting on word from Allegheny if they can get the field ready on time tomorrow before scheduling the Fort LeBoeuf-Corry and Saegertown-Reynolds games. There is a chance if the field is unplayable that both games could move to Gannon University, simply because no other fields would be available.

Update No. 5: Fort LeBoeuf and Corry have been suspended until Friday with a time to be announced. Saegertown and Reynolds also postponed until Friday.

Update No. 4: Fort LeBoeuf gets 2 runners on with one out in the top of the first and here comes the rain. Another delay at Allegheny

Update No. 3: Warren beats Hickory 10-0 in 6 innings. The Dragons move on to their fifth straight D-10 championship game on Monday against either Corry or Fort LeBoeuf.

Update No. 2: Warren and Hickory has resumed. Warren leads 8-0 after 5.

Update No. 1: Warren leads Hickory 7-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning but the game is in a lightning delay and it is raining. The field is taking on a lot of water and there is a chance the remaining two games could get wiped out.

The three District 10 softball playoff games at Penn State Behrend have been postponed. The outfield was swamped from heavy morning rain and with more rain anticipated in the afternoon, District 10 softball director Tom Jakubowski postponed all three games. The three will be played Friday with the same start times.

Here’s a list of the games rescheduled for Friday at Behrend:

District 10 Class A semifinals
Iroquois vs. Sharpsville ppd. until Friday at 1 p.m.
District 10 Class AA semifinals
Fairview vs. Titusville ppd. until Friday at 3 p.m.
Northwestern vs. Harbor Creek ppd. until Friday at 5 p.m.

The three games at Allegheny College are on as scheduled.
