FAU scores courtesy run in top of 1st and leads Rice 1 - 0 after 1.

1st and 2nd for FAU with no outs in T2. Blake not fooling anyone.

Again, the lineup construction is a total headscratcher. We're going against a soft-tossing left-hander, and four of our first 5 batters are left-handed?

Delay.

Lightning delay ... but weather.com's prediction for the rest of the day looks dire ... showing that it will be getting much worse. Here's the 7:30 p.m. (Central) prediction:



Here's hoping that Sunday's better.

LaTech up on USM 3-2 in B3.

Turned out well for us last time we had a sporting event against FAU delayed by lightning. Lets do it again.

They stopped the game well before any thunder or lightning, so now they won't start until long after, I guess. Could be hours.

There was thunder. They stopped it immediately after.

Wow. That map that Mike posted looks rough.
Wonder if they'll try to finish the game tomorrow ... As part of a DH.

It's supposed to be scattered thunderstorms until tonight. Doubt this one starts anytime soon. Can see the Lightning Storm from Kirby.

Now they've started again.

After 3, it's tied at 1.

T4, 3-1 FAU, Esquivel is in.

Esquivel escapes further damage. 3 - 1 the Wrong Owls after 3-1/2

He did nicely after a shaky start.

Offense not doing much today. 2 runs is a lot.

Some more delay.

Dawson home run extends USM lead to 5-3.

So this looks like it could be a 3-4 hour delay from the look of the radar. I'd assume both teams will have to go back to the pen after it finally is over. How is FAU's pitching/relief pitching situation?
