Mother Nature intervenes on CWS game

For the first time since 2000, Mother Nature kept things from moving forward at the College World Series.

North Carolina was leading LSU 2-0 in the top of the first when the rains came, and the NCAA determined after a three-hour delay that it would be in the best interests to move things back a day. The LSU-UNC game will be picked up where it left off when the two teams get together again Friday at 6 p.m. at Rosenblatt Stadium.
