Rain claimed the first scheduled game of the American Legion baseball three-game series between Garner Post 232 and Johnston County Post 71 that was scheduled for Friday night.
The series will now shift to a Saturday, Sunday and Monday format with Saturday's game at Smithfield-Selma High School and the Sunday and Monday tilts at Garner High School.
All games in the series start at 7 p.m.
D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
