LAWRENCE — The second lengthy weather delay Sunday didn’t end with Kansas baseball and Oklahoma continuing their game, as the decision was made to suspended this matchup and finish it Monday.
The first delay pushed first pitch at Hoglund Ballpark in this NCAA super regional game from 5 p.m. (CT) to 7:30 p.m. (CT). The second delay started at 8:40 p.m. (CT), and at 10:23 p.m. (CT) the announcement was made that the game will continue on Monday at 12:02 p.m. (CT) — according to a social media post on X by the KU team.

At the time of the start of the second delay, Oklahoma held an 8-1 lead in the bottom of the third inning and looked poised to coast to a victory.

Should Oklahoma win this game, it would capture a super regional title after already beating Kansas once before in this best-of-three series. That first game was Saturday and saw the Sooners dominate on the way to an 8-1 victory.
Kansas would need to come back in this second game and then win another game — set for Monday at 4:06 p.m. (CT) if needed — in order to win this series and advance to the College World Series.

This season has seen Kansas enjoy a lot of success prior to this super regional. The Jayhawks won the Big 12 Conference’s regular-season and tournament titles before winning the Lawrence Regional. That momentum, though, hasn’t carried over into this showdown against SEC foe Oklahoma.
