NATCHEZ — A line of strong to severe thunderstorms came through the Miss-Lou Monday afternoon, forcing local and area high school baseball and softball game to be postponed.

Natchez High School’s softball team was scheduled to host Sacred Heart from Hattiesburg in a non-region game at the Natchez-Adams Girls Softball Complex. But the junior varsity and varsity games were canceled before the storms arrived.

Lady Bulldogs head coach ShaRhonda Welch said she doesn’t know if the games will be rescheduled.
