Wouldn’t be early season college baseball without weather becoming a factor.
Oklahoma and Virginia kicked off the 2020 season Friday night in what appeared as a great venue with accommodating weather.

That calm weather will turn to rainy skies on Sunday. The potential inclement weather has pushed the final game of the opening series to Saturday. The final game will be played after the first game that’s set to start at 1 p.m. CT.
Final in the opener. Back at it tomorrow.
OU and UVA will play a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 1 p.m., due to inclement weather forecast for Sunday.

Virginia took game one of the series Friday night.. The Cavaliers put up four runs in the bottom of the eighth to put an exclamation point on the season-opening 6-0 shutout.
Oklahoma is slated to start left-handed pitcher Levi Prater (2019: 7-4, 3.26) in game one and San Jacinto College transfer Dane Acker in game two. Acker went 10-0 with a 2.36 ERA and struck out 97 batters in 76.1 innings.
Virginia was projected in D1Baseball.com’s as a 2-seed caliber team in the website’s preseason field of 64 for the NCAA Tournament.
