A sudden bout of rain and lightning over the Lawrence area forced officials to halt Game 2 of the NCAA Super Regional between the Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday evening.
Game resumes Monday afternoon
The contest was already underway when the Sooners seized an 8‑1 lead in the third inning, a margin that mirrored the 8‑1 defeat Kansas suffered in the series opener the night before. The weather break gave both teams a chance to regroup before play resumes.
Officials have scheduled the resumption for 12:02 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark, with gates opening an hour before the first pitch. If Kansas manages to win the resumed game, a third match will be set for a 4:06 p.m. start.
Fans who left their seats in The Backyard area can retrieve their chairs on Monday, ensuring that the ballpark returns to its full complement of spectators for the continuation of the series.
