FAYETTEVILLE — The baseball game between Arkansas against Georgia will start 1 1/2 hours later than originally planned.
A first pitch was rescheduled for just after 8 p.m. between the No. 1 Razorbacks and Bulldogs at Baum-Walker Stadium. The game was originally scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated showers and thunderstorms were expected in Fayetteville before 7 p.m. Rain chances are still possible, but diminish later in the night.
Rain and hail fell and lightning was visible in areas near the stadium during much of the 6 p.m. hour. According to SEC lightning policy, a game cannot be played until at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike has occurred within 8 miles of the stadium.
Arkansas (34-8, 15-6 SEC) enters the series with a one-game lead in both the SEC and SEC West standings. The Razorbacks are the SEC’s only team without a series loss this season.
Georgia (27-16, 10-11) is looking to upset the top-ranked team on the road for the second time this season. The Bulldogs won two of three games at then-No. 1 Vanderbilt last month.
Arkansas is scheduled to throw left hander Patrick Wicklander (3-1, 1.89 ERA) against Georgia left hander Liam Sullivan (1-0, 4.74) tonight. It will be the first career start for Sullivan, a freshman.
