Florida Vs. Vanderbilt Weather Delay: Holy Cats That Is A Large Storm

Uhh, we’re not going to be seeing any baseball for a while. Thanks to our friends at the National Weather Service, we can see that the College World Series game between the Florida Gators and Vanderbilt Commodores isn’t going to be finished for another hour or two. I’m not from Nebraska, so this storm could be par for the course as far as summer thunderstorms go, but to me that looks like a pretty freaking nasty storm.

The game was delayed at the top of the 6th inning with Florida leading 3-1. The Gators had jumped out to a 3-0 lead off of an incredible home run by Preston Tucker into the wind, but Vandy pulled one back with a great piece of hitting by Anthony Gomez, who was able to gut out a single on a slider out of the strike zone to bring in Connor Harrell. Karsten Whitson was pulled afterwards (why?) and Steven Rodriguez got out of the inning.

Incredibly, despite the size of the storm and the obvious tornado sirens in the background, the teams played for a good ten minutes AFTER THE TORNADO SIRENS STARTED BLARING. Smart.
