Rain continued to plague the 5A State tournament at Bonneville High School in Idaho Falls, prompting officials to receive permission to attempt to play Sunday and move the tournament in Boise.

Eagle (27-0) and Coeur d’Alene (24-1) are scheduled to complete their semifinal starting at 8 a.m. The teams were scoreless after four innings on Friday. Rocky Mountain (20-6) and Boise (18-9) are in the other semifinal.

The title game and third-place game are set for 10 a.m.

Lake City’s consolation game, against the CdA-Eagle loser, was canceled. The Timberwolves finished 20-7.

Sandpoint finished the season 13-8 after a 7-6 loss to Twin Falls at the 4A State tournament at Twin Falls High School.

The tournament, originally scheduled as double-elimination, was switched to single-elimination after rain postponed Friday’s games.
