SEC teams are battling weather all over the conference, hoping to get the final weekend series of the regular season played. Game times have been moved, most notably in Baton Rouge with LSU hosting Ole Miss. First pitch was at 4 p.m. CT but still, the Tigers and Rebels could not get the complete game in without a delay.

In the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs, LSU was up 5-1 over Ole Miss. Right before Michael Braswell could step into the batter’s box, a groundskeeper at Alex Box Stadium got the attention of the home plate umpire.

Unfortunately, lightning is within an eight-mile radius of the stadium, causing a delay. At least 30 minutes have to pass before the two teams can retake the field.

“We have entered a weather delay at Alex Box due to lightning within an 8-mile radius,” the official LSU Baseball account said via X at 5:46 p.m. CT. “Updates will be provided as we receive them.”
