GREENFIELD – Mother Nature put a halt to the Greenfield-Athol Western Mass. Class C quarterfinal game on Tuesday.
The third-seeded Green Wave held a 4-0 lead over the No. 6 Bears when the rain began pouring at Vets Field. The game was suspended there and will resume at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
The game will restart with no outs in the bottom of the second, with Chase Zraunig at the plate facing a 1-0 count. Deven Dubie is on third base after cracking a double and moving to third on a wild pitch.
Caleb Thomas got the start for Greenfield and was locked in early, striking out six through two innings. He surrendered a pair of walks in the first but recorded a strikeout to close the inning. He struck out all three batters he faced in the top of the second.
Dubie opened the bottom of the first with a single and Zraunig followed with a walk. John Marchefka blasted a single up the middle to score Dubie, Michael Pierce singled to load the bases and Thomas helped himself by knocking a base hit that drove in Zraunig and Marchefka.
Luca Siano smashed a double to score Pierce and give Greenfield a 4-0 lead before its first out in the first. Athol’s Noah Wein settled in and recorded a pair of strikeouts to end the inning.
