COLUMBUS, Ga. --- Due to rain in the Columbus area and deteriorating field conditions, the remainder of the Southern Softball Showdown has been canceled.

The Lady Choctaws were scheduled to play Lynn and Flagler on Sunday, but both contests have been canceled with no makeup dates to be scheduled.

MC split two games on the opening day of the tournament, falling in extra innings to Palm Beach Atlantic (5-4) and defeating Georgia Southwestern (8-3).

The Lady Choctaws will be back in action on Friday (January 9) when they compete in the Charger Chillout 2.0 in Huntsville, Ala.
