LSU baseball and UCLA will wait until Tuesday to complete Game 8 of the College World Series. Just before the start of the fourth inning on Monday night, the game entered a weather delay. After hours passed, CWS and NCAA officials opted to resume the game on Tuesday.
The contest will pick up at 10:00 a.m. CT.
After three innings, LSU holds a 5-3 lead. UCLA scored three runs in the first, but LSU answered, scoring four runs in the bottom half of the inning. Jake Brown got it started with an RBI single before Jared Jones launched a three run homer.
After Anthony Eyanson pitched two scoreless innings, LSU added another run with a Luis Hernandez RBI single.
With Eyanson settling in, the delay came at a bad time for LSU. Now, the Tigers will be forced to adjust their pitching plans with Eyanson unavailable on Tuesday. LSU certainly wanted more than three innings from its star pitcher, but these things happen when weather gets involved.
The loser of LSU vs. UCLA will be in a tough spot with a quick turnaround to play Arkansas in an elimination game later in the day.
The game will likely resume on ESPN.
