Oklahoma baseball was all set and ready to begin a two-game midweek series against Texas Southern on Tuesday night, but mother nature had other ideas.
Less than ten minutes before the Sooners and Tigers were set to get things underway, it was announced the game would be postponed to Wednesday due to impending weather in the area. That came just a short while after the second game of the series was moved up from a 4:00 p.m. CT start to a 1:30 p.m. CT first pitch.

The two squads will face one another in a doubleheader Wednesday beginning at 11:00 a.m. CT, with the second game following approximately 30 minutes after the first one concludes. Also of note, the two games will both be just seven innings as opposed to the full nine.
So Oklahoma and Texas Southern will now take an unexpected night off before matching up for 14 innings (at least) tomorrow at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
