McComb advances to the championship round and Bryant was set to play later on Monday against the winner of a losers bracket game between Plainview, Texas and Eagle Pass, Texas. But rain washed out those games, setting up a full day on Tuesday. Plainview and Eagle Pass were playing this morning with the winner taking on Bryant at noon. The survivor would play McComb in the championship round, needing two wins to take the title and advance to the World Series.
Normally, no team is supposed to play three games in one day but because of the rainout and the upcoming World Series, officials were considering waving that rule, according to Bryant manager Jason Thompson, who expressed his intention of protesting such a decision.
