PLAY SUSPENDED AT ORLANDO REGIONAL

ORLANDO, Fla. — Inclement weather forced play to be suspended between South Dakota State and Villanova in an elimination game Saturday at the Orlando Regional of the 2022 NCAA Softball Championship. Play is scheduled to resume at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (9 a.m. Central) with the Jackrabbits and Wildcats tied at 1-all entering the top of the sixth inning.
The game was originally scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. local time, but was pushed back after the first game of the day between host Central Florida and Michigan went 11 innings, with UCF pulling out a 3-2 victory.
Villanova took an early 1-0 lead as Paige Rauch scored on a wild pitch in the top of the first inning.
SDSU tied the game with a run in the bottom of the second inning with a two-out rally. Allison Yoder doubled to right-center and later scored on Peyton Daugherty's single up the middle.
The teams were first pulled off the field in the bottom of the fourth inning due to a thunderstorm, leading to a delay of more than three hours. Once play resumed, the two squads were only able to play another inning and a half before more inclement weather moved into the area.
The winner is scheduled to face Michigan in another elimination game Sunday immediately following the conclusion of the suspended game.
