GREENVILLE, N.C. – After two lengthy delays due to rain and lightning, No. 15 NC State baseball’s game versus Campbell in the NCAA Greenville Regional at Clark-LeClair Stadium has been postponed to 12 p.m. Saturday.

The game was first halted at 2:21 p.m. due to lightning in the bottom of the eighth after a leadoff homer by Jonny Butler to cut NC State’s deficit to 5-4. Play resumed at 3:40 p.m., but 28 minutes later after the completion of the top of the ninth, the contest was paused again due to heavy rain.

Almost six hours later, the decision was ultimately made to play the final half inning at noon Saturday. The teams will resume play in the bottom of the ninth with no outs and the Camels holding a 5-4 advantage.

Fans will need to bring their “Session One” tickets to attend the rest of the NC State vs. Campbell game.

No. 9 East Carolina and Quinnipiac will play at 4 p.m. and the rest of the weekend schedule is to be announced. 

All games will be broadcast on ESPN3 and there will be a live audio stream on WKNC 88.1 FM.

Seems odd to not have the 2nd 1st round game until 4pm. Any weather at all then jeopardizes completing a 2nd game Saturday night. Win, a gutcheck win like this team excelled at early in the season, and I guess we won't worry about all of that.

Yeah, if we somehow win today, we won"t play again till Sunday. Weird. I know its ecu decision and they're hosting and catering to their fans, but their fans are less likely to show monday or tuesday, than at noon on Saturday. Finish ours at 10am, start the ecu game at noon. 4pm losers and 8 PM winners game. Back on schedule for Sunday. A day full of baseball with no breaks. Duh
