Little League World Series: RAIN DELAY: Jackson's Holbrook Faces Connecticut Wednesday

WILLIAMSPORT, PA -- (Updated) The Holbrook Little League rematch against Connecticut in the Little League World Series will have to wait.

Steady rain and thunderstorms in the area prompted Little League officials to postpone the game to Wednesday morning. The game between the Jackson all-stars and the team from Fairfield, CT, now is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday.

The elimination-bracket game initially was scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start Tuesday, but after a half-hour delay, officials moved it to the morning.

When the teams take the field in the morning, Holbrook will be looking to avenge last Thursday's 7-6 loss to the all-stars representing the New England region. They will be facing Ethan Righter, the pitcher who shut Holbrook's high-scoring offense down for four innings. Holbrook rallied after Righter had to leave the game due to pitch-count rules.

Williamsport had been under a thunderstorm warning and tornado watch most of the day and heavy rain started shortly before the scheduled game time.
