The NCS contest started at 5 p.m. on Tuesday at Granada and was called on account of darkness by the game’s umpires at approximately 8:15 p.m. Granada’s baseball field does not have any lights, and the field was getting visibly dark during the seventh inning.
Granada coach Corrigan Willis and San Ramon Valley coach Justin Santich-Hughes mutually decided to restart the game on Wednesday at 4 p.m. The game will continue to be played at Granada, the matchup’s higher seed.
The NCS practice of starting playoffs game at 5 p.m. has been a point of discussion for many years. The Central Coast Section typically starts afternoon playoff games at 4 p.m.
It came into play for Granada just two years ago, when the Matadors faced De La Salle in the NCS championship game at Monte Vista High in Danville.

That contest started at 5 p.m. and lasted 11 innings before it was suspended on account of darkness. It restarted the next day at Granada, which won 1-0 in the 14th inning.
Ironically, Monte Vista’s NCS game against Liberty, held in Danville, was also suspended Tuesday due to darkness. The game has lasted – you guessed it – 11 innings so far and is tied 3-3.
