A sudden thunderstorm rolled through Omaha on Saturday evening, prompting officials to halt the scheduled College World Series contest between Georgia and Texas just as the 8 p.m. ET start time approached.
Lightning and heavy rain began around 6:20 p.m. ET, and although the precipitation eased by 7 p.m., the delay was officially confirmed to media representatives at 7:20 p.m., pushing the game back for a later start.
Schedule Implications
The first game of the day at Charles Schwab Field, featuring Oklahoma and Alabama, proceeded without interruption, with Oklahoma cruising to a 9‑0 victory. That result sets up a Monday evening showdown between the Oklahoma and the eventual Georgia‑Texas winner, while Alabama will meet the loser later that afternoon.
