MAIDEN –For the second straight night, Maiden Post 240’s American Legion baseball game was postponed on Sunday.
The Salamanders were to play Cherryville at Cherryville but the game was postponed.
On Saturday night, Maiden Post 240’s game against Lincoln County at East Lincoln High was washed out and reset for Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
Maiden’s next game, its second of the year, is Monday night at 7 p.m. against Hickory Post 48 at the Legion Fairgrounds in Newton.
Maiden opened its season on Friday night by beating Kings Mountain 9-2 at Bandys High. The game was moved to Bandys because of wet field conditions at Maiden High.
Post 240 is playing in a 10-team East Division that includes the Gaston Braves, Gastonia, Huntersville, Lincoln County, Kings Mountain, Mint Hill, Pineville, Shelby and Union County. The Area IV division will have 18 division games.
The West Division of Area IV has nine teams – Asheville, Burke County, Burnsville, Caldwell County, Cherryville, Henderson County, Hickory, Rutherford County and Taylorsville – and they’ll play a 16-game division schedule.
The postseason is scheduled to begin on July 7, with the state tournament set for July 26-30 at High Point, the Southeast Regional scheduled Aug. 1-5 in Asheboro and the Legion World Series returns to Shelby on Aug. 16-21.
