(TAYLOR, Mich.) - Junior League World Series tournament officials say Bedford 13 & 14-year old All-Stars will play today at 2:45 p.m.
Monday's massive thunderstorms forced postponements of three of the four games and forced Junior League World Series officials to issue a revised schedule.
Indiana's game against Tennessee was rained out and has been moved to 2:45 p.m., today. It's a vital game for the Bedford 13 & 14-year old All-Stars after dropping a 3-2 decision to Louisiana Sunday.
The game will be broadcast live on 1340 AM WBIW as well as Super Oldies 105.5 FM with Steven Gillespie on for the call. You will also be able to listen live right here on WBIW.com.
We encourage you to spread the word, tune in and cheer the team on to a championship.
