A sudden thunderstorm rolled over Lawrence on Saturday afternoon, forcing officials to pause the NCAA super regional baseball contest between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Oklahoma Sooners just as the game entered its third inning, with Oklahoma up 8‑1.
Weather Delays Force Monday Restart
Play will resume at 12:02 p.m. Central Time on Monday at Hoglund Ballpark, giving the Jayhawks a chance to erase the deficit and keep their series hopes alive.
A loss would eliminate Kansas from the best‑of‑three series, allowing Oklahoma to advance to a decisive final game later that same day.
The Jayhawks dropped the opening game of the series, leaving them with a 0‑1 hole heading into Monday’s action.
When the rain clears, the contest will be televised on ESPN2, bringing the comeback attempt to a national audience.
Kansas starter Mason Cook was pulled after just two innings, while Oklahoma’s pitcher Xander Mercurius had kept the Jayhawks scoreless in the opening frame.
