Due to inclement weather, only one of the three scheduled games of Day 3 of the American Legion State Class B baseball tournament in LaMoure were completed on Friday.

Washburn Post 12 defeated Lisbon Post 7 by the final of 6-2 in loser-out play. LaMoure was scheduled to face Velva in the second loser-out game on Friday, while Wahpeton was slated to face Grafton in a battle of tournament unbeatens.

Those two games will be played today starting with LaMoure vs. Velva at noon, with Grafton taking on Wahpeton 30 minutes after. The day will then conclude with semifinal games between Washburn and either Wahpeton or Grafton, followed by either Velva or LaMoure facing either Wahpeton or Grafton.

The championship game is slated for 2 p.m. on Sunday.
