OMAHA, Neb. – The LSU-UCLA College World Series game was halted Monday night at 7:20 p.m. CT due to inclement weather.

Approximately three hours later, the NCAA announced the game would be resumed at 10 a.m. CT Tuesday.

The game will resume at the beginning of the top of the fourth inning with LSU leading 5-3, and UCLA coming to bat.

The game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network, with network TV telecast plans to be determined.

The winner of the LSU-UCLA game will advanced to the winner’s bracket round at 6 p.m. CT Wednesday.
