MISSOULA — When the first game of the Class AA state softball tournament started, the sun was bright and the sky was clear.

To open the tournament, Great Falls CMR defeated Kalispell Glacier 5-2 and Belgrade topped Missoula Big Sky 6-3.
Watch the video from Day 1 before delays hit:
Later, Billings West led by one run against Butte after the top of the second when the lightning forced a delay. The game between Missoula Sentinel and Billings Senior had not started yet.
To pass the time during the delay, the CMR Rustlers brought out a speaker and sang songs with one another.
The rest of Thursday's games were eventually postponed. For the new tournament schedule, click here.
