Rain Delays Athens Regional Baseball Game
The NCAA Athens Regional has been hit by an unexpected bout of inclement weather, prompting officials to adjust the schedule for Friday's slate of games.
Georgia's baseball squad, slated to take the mound at 5:06 p.m., will now see its contest delayed as thunderstorms loom over the venue, with a 47% chance of rain at 5 p.m. and 51% at 6 p.m.
The first game of the regional, a matchup between Boston College and Liberty, has been moved up to 12:06 p.m. and will also be streamed on ESPN+, ensuring fans can still catch live action early in the day.
All games in the regional will be available via ESPN+, which has secured the streaming rights for the tournament, allowing viewers to follow the action online without missing key moments.
Organizers say the revised timing is intended to minimize disruption while still providing a competitive environment, and they are monitoring conditions closely as the afternoon progresses.
