Due to inclement weather in the area, Texas announced on social media that the start of the three-game college baseball weekend series at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin, Texas is in a delay.

7:20 p.m.: As noted by KBTX News' Chief Meteorologist Max Crawford, lightning is currently still in the Austin area. Reminder: The NCAA Weather Protocol states that for every lightning strike detected within a six-mile radius of the stadium the clock resets with a new 30-minute clock for game resumption.

More of an “affecting pregame” issue than lightning in my humble opinion, but we could absolutely see another strike or two as this little boundary works NW and eventually out of Austin. https://t.co/J9G6V8PCy3pic.twitter.com/dgV7MXocN1
