Late night at the WIAA state baseball tournament

Conan O'Brien and David Lettermen won't be involved, but everybody will be staying up quite late at Grand Chute.

An early-morning rain shower and an extra innings affair pushed back the proceedings at the WIAA state baseball tournament almost three hours. There are buffers inbetween sessions that can be shortened, but the second session of the day didn't start until 4 p.m. Each session consists of two games. The games average about two hours.

Waupun, which was originally scheduled to play West De Pere at 8:30 p.m. in the last game of the third session of the day, probably won't take the field until 10:30 p.m. at the earliest. I'd be surprised if the game started before 11 p.m.

Until then, read a superbly crafted story about Waupun's two starting pitchers.
