[ASFN Admin]

Georgia baseball will resume its NCAA Athens Regional game with Long Island at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, after persistent rain—heavy at times—forced the suspension of the game.

The Bulldogs have a commanding 15-1 lead with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth.

The teams and some fans waited out a delay that started 7:14 p.m.

The game was suspended officially at 9:06 p.m. Long Island players were already grabbing their equipment in the dugout to depart for the team hotel before then.

The winner of Georgia-LIU will play No. 3 seed Liberty Saturday in the double-elimination tournament in a game scheduled for 5 p.m.

The loser will play No. 2 seed Boston College at noon.

The No. 3 national seed Bulldogs hit six homers before the game was delayed due to heavy rain.

There was a 53 percent chance of rain at 9 a.m. Saturday, according to weather.com, decreasing to 17 percent at 11 a.m., but there’s a threat of storms in the afternoon.
