LSU vs UCLA Game Delayed Again as Weather Disrupts College World Series Thriller
Man, talk about wild weather shaking things up in Omaha. What was shaping up to be a thrilling showdown between LSU and UCLA in the 2025 College World Series has now turned into a waiting game thanks to relentless storms. LSU, holding a 5-3 lead when the game was paused, will have to pick things back up Tuesday morning after multiple delays turned Monday night’s contest into a stormy saga.
It all started off hot—literally and figuratively. The Bruins came out swinging in the top of the first, stacking four hits and putting up three quick runs. LSU fans barely had time to blink before it looked like the Tigers might be on the ropes. But then came Jared "Bear" Jones with an absolute bomb. A three-run shot that cut through the thick Omaha wind like it didn’t even exist. That blast put LSU up 4-3 and flipped the energy inside Charles Schwab Field completely.

By the third inning, LSU had added another run to go up 5-3, and it felt like we were watching a heavyweight bout in the making. But right as the fourth inning was about to get underway, things came to a screeching halt. The NCAA called for a weather delay due to lightning and thunder in the area, and what started as a precaution quickly turned into a full-scale postponement. According to NCAA rules, any lightning within six miles of the venue resets a mandatory 30-minute delay clock, and that storm just wouldn’t budge.
By late Monday night, after hours of monitoring and updates from the National Weather Service—some even showing a 100% chance of storms—the NCAA finally made the call: the game would resume Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. local). It’s the 19th time this season that LSU has dealt with weather delays, which is just wild. You’ve gotta feel for the players, especially pitchers trying to stay mentally locked in.
Now, depending on how Tuesday shakes out, the winner of this game moves forward to play again Wednesday evening, while the loser has to face No. 3 Arkansas Tuesday night. That means a tough turnaround and possibly two games in one day—brutal.
But hey, if there’s any team that can handle the chaos, it’s LSU. They've been here before. This is their 20th College World Series appearance, and they’re looking for their first title since 2023. With their bats heating up and fans showing up strong in Omaha, the Tigers are still very much in the hunt. The only thing standing in their way right now? The weather.
So buckle up, Tiger Nation. Tuesday morning’s about to bring the thunder—on the field this time, we hope.
