Severe Storms Disrupt Sports Events Nationwide

Severe weather across the United States has caused widespread delays and schedule changes in professional and collegiate baseball and softball. MLB games, including the Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves, experienced significant rain delays with uncertain restart times due to ongoing thunderstorms. Collegiate baseball series such as Vanderbilt vs. Alabama and Tennessee vs. Auburn faced postponements and rescheduled doubleheaders. Texas A&M and Tennessee softball had their matchups postponed mid-game, with play set to resume the following morning. In high school sports, the LHSAA state softball tournament in Louisiana delayed all remaining semifinal and championship games by at least a day because of inclement weather. These disruptions highlight the nationwide impact of severe spring storms on sports scheduling.
