The LSU Tigers and UCLA Bruins exited Charles Schwab Field in Omaha (Neb.) on Monday night due to inclement weather in the area.

The College World Series matchup was stopped in the fourth inning at 7:20 p.m. CT with the UCLA Bruins up to bat at the top of the frame.

Heading into the delay, it was the LSU Tigers that held a 5-3 lead following a rollercoaster first inning at Charles Schwab Field.

The Bruins took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning with LSU right-hander Anthony Eyanson shaky to start the showdown.

For the Tigers, a three-run homer from Jared Jones in the bottom of the first frame provided the Tigers with a lead following an RBI single from Jake Brown.

LSU tacked on another run on an RBI single from Luis Hernandez in the bottom of the third inning to take a 5-3 lead.

Now, following three innings, inclement weather in the Omaha area has forced a delay at Charles Schwab Field.

There has yet to be an update on a restart time nearly three hours after the initial weather delay.

Players were taken off of the field at 7:20 p.m. CT and have yet to return to the dugouts as of 10 p.m. CT.

Could the College World Series showdown be postponed until Tuesday?

According to initial reports, LSU-UCLA must restart by 11 p.m. CT in order for the game to resume on Monday night at Charles Schwab Field.

Now, according to The Advocate, there are no guidelines for a College World Series "resumption/restart" deadline. The game could restart tonight if the weather permits.

Here in Omaha, there is no hard and fast rule for postponing the game to tomorrow. Game can resume after 11, but probably not after midnight. Based on how the weather looks and the fact the loser is supposed to play Arkansas tomorrow, I think they will resume tonight. #LSU

The winner of LSU versus UCLA will stay in the winner's bracket and play on Wednesday at 6 p.m. CT.

The loser of the matchup will play on Tuesday. If the game is postponed, the loser would then be forced to play a doubleheader on Tuesday.
