Rain, uncertainty cloud state. DaaQtoalll ByTOMHARALDSEN Sports Editor As of Monday evening at 7 pm., press deadline for this week's Clipper, one thing was certain about Region Four's entries into this year's - state 4-A baseball tournamentnothing tour-namentnothing was certain. -'" . That's because the same rain that washed out the Davis at East game Friday cancelled things on Monday, throwing another monkey wrench into an already crowded field of possibilities. Because the game was not played, there was . no definitive region champ-both Bountiful and East could still win it, and no definitive way of breaking a possible possi-ble three-way tie for third, fourth and fifth. - , . As of late Monday, Davis and East could have played Tuesday afternoon. An East victory would force a three-way tie for third be tween Davis, Viewmont and Woods Cross.
