wearing all black when it's that hot outside isn't a very good idea

FAU 7
FIU 4

Florida Atlantic beats FIU 7-4.

Next: Louisiana Tech vs. Rice.

Always good to beat fiu!

Burroughs ejected from the game as Rice is up 2-0 in T2 with the bases loaded (2 outs).

What does that mean for him moving forward in the tournament?

Rice up 6-1 going to T6... ESPN3 announcers say that the "weather guys are looking at their phones."

Weather delay - are they still going to be able to get 4 games in today?

Definitely can get three. But I don’t think 4/5 matchup would start till 1 A.M. at this rate.

So I see the American Athletic Conference is now using two different fields for its tournament games in an effort to get in all the games (they're also facing weather issues in Florida this weekend, same as the Mississippi Coast). Is there any chance we can do the same in Biloxi? From what I can tell, the real weather issues are this weekend, but for the next 2 days, it's isolated showers so it might make sense to try to use more than 1 field to get games in while the weather cooperates?

They've resumed play in Biloxi. I think they were talking about the schedule changing but I missed the information.

They're not playing the final game tonight. It's going to be the first game tomorrow morning now. But I can't find the adjusted schedule anywhere yet.

Another delay - we got in 1/2 inning before delay #2 in this game (and #5 for the day?)

CUSA finally posts an updated schedule - this is all posted with a ton of asterisks....

Don't think that's an option. There's a JUCO park in Perkinston (about 30 mins north of Biloxi) that seats about 500 people. Probably the best available field in the Mississippi Coast area.

The best solution at this point would be to move to a single-elimination tournament (sorry, FIU).

USM/UAB rescheduled to 12:30 tomorrow

Louisiana Tech vs. Rice postponed.

Tomorrow's schedule as of this posting:
9:00 a.m. Charlotte vs. UTSA
followed by Louisiana Tech vs. Rice (in the T7)
followed by Southern Miss vs. UAB
