A long rain delay might be just what the doctor ordered for Benjamin Russell's softball team which struggled in its opening action of the Class 6A East Central Regional Tournament on Thursday afternoon.

The Wildcats are currently trailing Brookwood, 6-0, in the bottom of the third inning. BRHS' defense struggled through the Panthers' first three at-bats, allowing three errors in that time.
