Atlanta Rain Washes Out Sooners vs. Bulldogs Baseball

Rain showers and thunderstorms in Atlanta have forced a delay in the baseball game between the Oklahoma Sooners and The Citadel Bulldogs. The No. 2 seed Sooners and No. 3 seed Bulldogs will now meet on the diamond on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. CT, after an initial delay of nearly three and a half hours on Friday. This marks the second game cancellation for the Sooners this season due to weather, following previous postponements. The revised Saturday schedule includes a triple-header, with the loser of the early game facing the University of Illinois-Chicago and the winner advancing to play the top-seeded Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech secured a victory in their earlier game, which was unaffected by the weather. The Sooners' pitcher Cord Rager is slated to start, supported by catcher Deiten LaChance, who is on a recent hitting streak. This is the first meeting between OU and The Citadel since 2014, when the Sooners won 9-7. The Citadel earned their spot in this regional by winning the Southern Conference postseason tournament.
