The Philomath High School softball team’s games scheduled for Tuesday in the Battle at the Beach tournament in Newport didn’t come off as planned.

PHS coach Kari Jaques said a game against Yamhill-Carlton has been rescheduled for April 1 at Warrior Field with the first pitch at 5 p.m. The game will now serve as the team’s home opener.

Two days later on April 3, Philomath is scheduled to play a home doubleheader against Marshfield beginning at 1 p.m.

The second game that Philomath was supposed to play Tuesday at the tournament against Nyssa was not rescheduled.

The Warriors are off to a 1-2 start this season after a win over Blanchet Catholic and losses to Pendleton and Estacada — two schools with a combined 9-1 record. In fact, Pendleton handed Estacada its lone loss Tuesday morning at the tournament, 12-5.

The 3A Yamhill-Carlton squad has a 4-1 record and had won its first two games in Newport over Junction City and Toledo by scores of 10-0 and 13-0, respectively.
