OSAWATOMIE — The Kansas Amateur Baseball Association (KABA) league tournament, which features Iola Post 15’s AA Indians, has lost a competitor.
Chanute’s squad pulled out of the competition, which slightly alters the schedule for the Indians, team manager Neal Barclay said.
With eight teams in the fold, a new pair of brackets have been set up — the championship bracket for the teams that continue to win; and a consolation bracket, for those that drop their first game of the tournament.
The Indians are still the top seed and will take on eighth-seed Louisburg at 10 a.m. Saturday at Osawatomie’s Karl E. Cole Sports Complex.
The first-round winner will play either fourth-seed Fort Scott or fifth-seed Garnett at 10 a.m. Sunday.
The other side of the bracket features thirdseed Wellsville against Osawatomie and second- seed Ottawa against Burlington.
The semifinal and final rounds are Sunday in Osawatomie.
