OMAHA, Neb. — The College World Series championship game between Coastal Carolina and Arizona was postponed until today because of inclement weather in the Omaha area on Wednesday night.
NCAA officials waited 2 hours, 23 minutes after the scheduled start time to postpone the game. More rain and lightning were forecast for the area in the early morning hours, meaning a delay would have been likely.
The best-of-three series is tied at a game apiece.
Coastal Carolina (54-18) will be playing for its first national title in any team sport. Arizona (49-23) is going for its fifth championship, and first since 2012. First pitch is set for 12:08 p.m.
