OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The College World Series game between Virginia and Mississippi was suspended after a 93-minute lightning and rain delay at TD Ameritrade Park on Friday night. The game, tied 0-0, will resume Saturday at 2-p.m. Central Time, with Virginia batting in the top of the second inning. The Cavaliers have runners on first and second base. A news release from the NCAA said persons with a game ticket for Game 12 can bring it to the stadium for re-entry to the game. Those who have Flash Seats tickets can bring their credit card or the mobile app to the gate for entry.
Virginia would advance to next week’s best-of-three finals with a win. If Mississippi wins, the teams would play again Sunday. Texas and Vanderbilt will play a second bracket final on Saturday at 7 p.m. following the Longhorns’ 4-0 win on Friday. Friday night’s game originally was delayed because of lightning. Heavy rain moved in and forced the suspension of the game. More than an inch of rain fell in a half-hour at TD Ameritrade Park. Those who have season tickets for the game will need to use the conditional ticket marked for 7 p.m., according to the NCAA.
Reserved tickets will go on sale today (Saturday) at 10 a.m. at the box office. If needed, the NCAA said it will hold a deciding game between the University of Mississippi and the University of Virginia on Sunday.
