County softball: Another time change

— posted by Mike Cummings

From Decatur High softball coach Ashley Mueller: Tomorrow’s games will now begin at 10 a.m.

This doesn’t affect bracket play, which will still be single-elimination, except that the bracket will now start around 11:30 or noon.

By my estimate, the title game will no be played around 3:30 or 4 p.m., based on how long the previous games take.
