They have no choice. When you have to play two or three games a day and up to 14 games in five days and often dodge rain, they can't all be at night. Someone has to play in the morning. Every conference tournament does this and there is no other way to do it as much as I hate it. 

No different than Big Ten and NCAA Tourney in March in basketball.

I understand that.

Foley, Bothwell, ADP, and Buhr have been on fire on the mound recently. I think he's going to go with Foley game 1. Just a hunch.

Looks as if there are weather issues in Omaha.

Starting time for our first-round game against the Toiletmakers pushed back three hours -- to 2 p.m. ET

 

[LamarCheeks 18,477]

First pitch now set for 5 p.m. -- a six-hour delay.
