Staff report

TROY — The Sidney Post 217 Legion baseball team was trying to hang on and beat Piqua in the Region 2 Championship game Sunday night.

But lightning delayed the game in the bottom of the ninth, and it was suspended after a lengthy wait.

Sidney had allowed a 7-0 lead to evaporate and was leading just 7-6 going to the bottom of the ninth after Post 184 struck for six runs in the bottom of the seventh.

Piqua’s leadoff hitter doubled to open the ninth before the game was called.

The two teams will return to Troy tonight (Monday) at 7 p.m. to finish the game.

The winner advances to the State Legion Tournament starting next Wednesday.
