The NCAA's Tallahassee Regional Tournament has been forced to shift its schedule after a bout of inclement weather hit the area, pushing the showdown between St. John's and Northern Illinois to Sunday at 2 p.m.
Weather Disruption and Its Ripple Effects
The game will be played at Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium, a venue that has hosted several of the region's most memorable contests.
Fans can watch the action live on ESPN+, where veteran analysts Devon Travis and Daron Vaught will provide the play‑by‑play commentary.
Beyond the immediate matchup, the rearrangement ripples through the rest of the week. The winner of Sunday's contest is slated to advance to the championship game on Monday, while the loser will meet the loser of an earlier elimination game later that same day.
Earlier in the week, St. John's edged past No. 1 Florida State 6‑5 on Friday, and Northern Illinois rallied to a 12‑10 victory over Coastal Carolina. A rain‑delayed Game 3 between Florida State and Coastal Carolina was halted in the top of the sixth inning and is now set to resume Sunday at 11 a.m.
Sunday's slate includes Game 4 at 2 p.m., featuring the St. John's‑Northern Illinois clash, followed by Game 5 at 6 p.m., a matchup that will pit the winner of Game 3 against the loser of Game 4. If needed, a Game 6 on Monday will determine the next step, with its time to be announced.
Should a Game 7 become necessary later on Monday, it will bring the winner of Game 6 into a final showdown against the loser of Game 6, again with a time to be determined.
