Two snow delays and the eventual suspension of the game weren’t able to cool down the Springfield High baseball team as they built a 12-2 lead over Inter-Tri County League rival Lisbon on Tuesday.

On a day where the weather played havoc with high school sporting events, the Tigers (5-2) and Blue Devils (2-3) were called off the field in the bottom of the third inning.

The game will be resumed today before the teams’ regularly-scheduled clash at Lisbon.

“That’s Northeast Ohio for you,” Springfield coach Matt Weymer said. “We try to play in every element just because the weather’s so unpredictable.”
