Due to this week’s rainy conditions, rainouts for high school baseball in Orange County have been widespread.
Even though there was no rain Thursday, fields are still wet, forcing two more postponements.
The latest:
Updated Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
ESTANCIA-CALVARY CHAPEL
Estancia and Calvary Chapel were supposed to play a single game Thursday at 4 p.m. at Estancia, but field conditions are not playable, according to Estancia Coach Nate Goellrich. A Friday game at the Great Park was also scheduled, but that field is not expected to ready.
So the teams will play an Orange Coast League doubleheader Friday beginning at noon at Estancia. Estancia is ranked No. 1 in the CIF Division 5 rankings and Calvary Chapel No. 4.
NORTHWOOD-PORTOLA
Northwood High coach Doug Euper said Wednesday he was hoping the Timberwolves could host Portola in a Pacific Coast League game Thursday. But the field is not playable at Northwood, so the teams will play a doubleheader Saturday at Portola beginning at 11 a.m.
“The players and coaches worked for about two and a half hours today trying to get the water off of it,” Euper said Wednesday.
FULLERTON-TROY
Fullerton and Troy had their Freeway League game at Angel Stadium scheduled for Wednesday rained out. No makeup date has been announced.
SUNNY HILLS-CANYON
Sunny Hills officials announced on Twitter Wednesday’s game with Canyon was postponed. No makeup date was announced.
CDM-SAN CLEMENTE
Corona del Mar and San Clemente were supposed to play Thursday night at Angel Stadium, but CdM was notified by the Angels that the game won’t be played there because of unplayable conditions. The game will instead be played on Thursday at 4 p.m. at Corona del Mar.
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE
Irvine and Woodbridge were supposed to play Wednesday and Thursday, but both those games were postponed, according to Woodbridge Athletic Director Rick Gibson and baseball coach Ryan Brucker.
The teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday at Irvine, beginning at 11 a.m. Irvine will be the home team for the first game and Woodbridge the home team for game two, which begins 30 minutes after the first contest.
University will host Beckman in a PCL doubleheader Saturday, according to Uni Coach Wesley Shaw. The first game will be at noon with the second game to follow 30 minutes after the conclusion of the opener.
