Auburn baseball vs. UCF enters weather delay: What to know

Auburn baseball's path through the regional has hit another snag. The Tigers' crucial elimination game against Central Florida was pushed back from its original 2 p.m. CT start time due to inclement weather.

Weather Watch at Plainsman Park

The delay was officially announced at 1:42 p.m., just moments before the scheduled first pitch. 205focus.com has confirmed that Auburn is currently in a holding pattern while officials monitor a line of storms approaching from the north, as reported via the program's official X account.

As of 3:07 p.m., a tentative start time of 4 p.m. has been set, with a further evaluation of the storm conditions scheduled for 3:30 p.m. This marks the second time this regional has been interrupted by the elements, following an in-game delay during Friday's loss to Milwaukee.

High Stakes for the Tigers

The stakes couldn't be higher for both Auburn and UCF as they fight to keep their seasons alive. Both squads head into this matchup looking to bounce back from losses to Milwaukee. The winner of today's contest will move on to face the Panthers; however, that team must defeat Milwaukee twice to secure the regional title.

While the first of those potential championship games is currently slated for 7 p.m. Sunday, today's weather-related delays could force changes to that evening schedule. Stay tuned to 205focus.com for the latest updates as the situation at Plainsman Park develops.
