TYLER, TX- Rain and lightning have delayed the West Regional for the second straight day, forcing the Majors to wait once again.
Millsaps hung on to defeat Whitworth 7-6 earlier on Thursday and were scheduled to play former SCAC rival Trinity (Tx) at around 10PM this evening. Mother Nature had other plans as lightning halted the game that followed the Majors and Pirates in the sixth inning with Linfield leading the host UT-Tyler Patriots. That game will resume at 10AM on Friday.
The Majors and Tigers will have to wait for that game to finish and then for the LaVerne Leopards and the Whitworth Pirates to play, with an approximate noon start time. The Tigers and Majors are scheduled for an approximate 315PM first pitch.
Should the Majors win, they would have to turn right around and play the winner of La Verne and Whitworth. If the Majors lose, they would play the winner of Linfield and UT-Tyler in a game that would start either late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
