A sudden bout of inclement weather forced the District 16/31 Little League to reshuffle its Section 5 baseball schedule for Saturday, affecting multiple age divisions across the region.
Minor Baseball games postponed
In the Minor Baseball division, the opening‑round matchups slated for Valley East Little League in Drums were called off. League officials confirmed that the contests will not be rescheduled in the immediate future, leaving teams awaiting a later date that has yet to be announced.
Major Baseball time changes
The Major Baseball tier responded differently to the rain, with start times shifted to accommodate drier conditions. Back Mountain is now set to face Carbino Club at 4 p.m., while Valley East will take on Abington at 6 p.m., both games still scheduled to be played at Valley East Little League.
Championship relocation
Perhaps the most anticipated contest, the Section 9‑11 championship pitting Back Mountain against Green Ridge, was also moved. The title game will now be played at 4 p.m. at Mountain Top Little League, a shift from its original 2 p.m. slot. The change was announced by league organizers as part of the broader effort to accommodate the weather‑related adjustments.
