Mother Nature has made her presence felt this Memorial Day Weekend, with several NCAA Softball Tournament super regionals experiencing weather delays on Saturday, May 23.
That includes the Fayetteville Super Regional.
No. 5 Arkansas and No. 12 Duke are projected to start Game 2 of the best-of-three super regional at 6:05 p.m. ET on Saturday at Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It's the second straight night that Arkansas and Duke will be impacted by weather, as both teams experienced a four-hour rain delay in Game 1.
LIVE UPDATES: Arkansas softball vs Duke score, highlights for Game 2 of super regional
The Razorbacks took Game 1 of the super regional on May 22 via run-rule, as Arkansas defeated Duke 14-5 in five innings. Tianna Bell hit a grand slam in the bottom of the second to put the Razorbacks in front, with Dakota Kennedy and Karlie Davison both following with home runs of their own later in the game.
Duke will need to find a way to stop Arkansas' scorching-hot offense on May 23 to force the if-necessary game on May 24. A win for the Razorbacks on Saturday would send them to the Women's College World Series for the first time in program history.
The winner of the Fayetteville Super Regional will face the winner of the Lincoln Super Regional between No. 4 Nebraska and No. 13 Oklahoma State in Game 1 in Oklahoma City next Thursday, May 28 at Devon Park.
Here's what to know on when the Razorbacks and Blue Devils are slated to resume play on May 23:
Arkansas vs Duke start time after weather delay
The Razorbacks and Blue Devils are scheduled for an updated 6:05 p.m. ET first pitch for Game 2 of the Fayetteville Super Regional. Both teams were originally scheduled for a 5 p.m. ET first pitch, meaning the weather delay will last just over an hour.
