Weather‑Driven Rescheduling of Regional Finals
A line of severe thunderstorms moving across the Louisville metro area prompted officials to delay the championship games of the Sixth and Seventh Regions, moving them to Thursday to protect players, fans and staff.
Bullitt Central will meet Bullitt East at 5:30 p.m. in the Sixth Region final, while Trinity takes on St. Xavier at 8 p.m. in the Seventh Region final. Both contests will be played at the same venues originally slated for Wednesday, but the later start times aim to avoid the most intense lightning activity.
The decision followed a careful review of meteorological data and consultation with stadium operators, who noted that the University of Louisville’s baseball facility must be cleared during lightning delays, a safety protocol that could have interrupted play.
Winners of each regional final will advance to the state tournament scheduled for June 5 in Lexington, where they will join other champions from across Kentucky in the final stage of the high school baseball season.
Meanwhile, the softball championships set for Wednesday remain on track, with officials confirming that those games will proceed as planned provided weather conditions improve.
