Georgia baseball’s matchup vs. Texas on Saturday, its first game of the College World Series, has entered a weather delay due to inclement weather in Omaha, Nebraska.
There is no official word on a start time yet.
Lightning was spotted and thunder heard at approximately 6:20 p.m. ET and around that time Charles Schwab Field flashed up a weather delay message on the jumbotrons. The grounds crew got the tarp down just before the rain started pouring a few minutes later.
The game, which will be televised on ESPN, was originally scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET. Rain halted around 7 p.m. ET and fans began filtering in to their seats. An official weather delay for Georgia-Texas was announced to media at about 7:20 p.m. ET.
The rain held off for the first game scheduled at Charles Schwab Field Saturday, with Oklahoma defeating Alabama 9-0 and awaiting the winner of Georgia-Texas Monday evening, while Alabama will face the loser Monday afternoon.
