Weather, extra innings moves Hogs-Gators to Friday

You can go ahead and go to bed at a decent hour Thursday night, but Friday could be a long day.

Arkansas’ game with Florida has been postponed until 10 a.m. Friday at the SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Alabama. It will be televised by the SEC Network.

The winner of Friday’s game will advance to the single-elimination semifinal round scheduled for Saturday.

The loser will play in an elimination game Friday evening against LSU.

The delay was forced after a 1-hour, 54-minute rain delay interrupted Thursday’s opening game between Georgia and Ole Miss, and that game and the following one between LSU and South Carolina went to a combined four extra innings.

Ole Miss won 5-4 in 10 innings and LSU won 6-4 in 12 innings.

The first two games took just less than 10 hours to complete and the third game of the day between Texas A&M and Auburn was not scheduled to begin until 7:55 p.m.

A curfew exists at the SEC Tournament and prohibits any games from beginning after midnight.
