Many of Monday’s local and area high school baseball and softball games were canceled due to several inches of rain that fell over much of Mississippi and Louisiana in recent days.

Vidalia High School’s JV and varsity baseball games at Franklin Parish High School in Winnsboro, La. and Monterey High School’s softball home games against Rapides High School were also rained out.
