HUMBOLDT — Crest High will have to wait a bit longer before continuing its quest to capture the school’s first-ever state baseball tournament bid.

The Lancers rode the right arm of Stetson Setter and the bat of Stratton McGhee Wednesday to a 4-0 victory over Central Heights in the semifinals of their Class 2-1A Regional Tournament.

That’s when Mother Nature intervened.

Rains arrived in the top of the third of the Southern Lyon County-Lebo/Waverly semifinal to determine who would face the Lancers for the regional crown. When it became obvious the rains would not let up any time soon, tournament organizers suspended play until Friday morning.
