Rain across the state Thursday night and well into Friday postponed all baseball games for Jefferson City Post 5.
The Post 5 Juniors, who are hosting the Missouri American Legion AA Zone 1 Tournament, made it into the bottom of the second inning Thursday night against Chillicothe Post 25 before lightning and rain suspended play.
That game was scheduled to resume at 11 a.m. Friday, but overnight rain postponed all Zone 1 Tournament games until today.
Jefferson City and Chillicothe will not resume their game, as Chillicothe opted to drop out of the tournament Friday.
