LINCOLN, NE — Ole Miss baseball’s game against Nebraska in the NCAA Tournament has entered a last-second delay.
With Ole Miss holding a 6-3 lead over Nebraska heading into the ninth inning, lightning and the looming threat of rain has forced a pause at Haymarket Park. Umpires paused the game as the ninth inning was set to begin.
The Rebels (37-21) played a 14-inning game on May 29 against Arizona State that was also delayed due to weather.
There has not been a time estimate released for when the game could resume. Fans have been instructed to exit the venue and take cover in their vehicles. The tarp is out to cover the field and lightning is in the air.
