Game 1 against Kentucky was slated to start at 2 p.m. CT Saturday, but the weather delayed that until 7:06. Once 7:06 rolled around, the radar still didn’t look good so the start was delayed for another two hours.
Now, the Tigers and Wildcats will finally get underway (we hope) at 9:30 p.m. CT on ESPN News.
Paul Skenes had started to warm up in the bullpen shortly before the attempted 8:06 start time, and both teams had started stretching when Jay Johnson pulled Skenes out of the pen and we were delayed for another hour.
The Tigers will look to take Game 1 with Skenes on the mound. LSU hasn’t advanced out of the super regionals to the College World Series since 2017.
We will begin at 9:06 p.m. CT https://t.co/fKA6s20Xio
