Florida and Kentucky are set to square off at the Men’s College World Series, in a do-or-die game for both teams.

Now they will have another night to think about what needs to be done.
With the threat of severe weather looming over Omaha — forecasters are calling for thunderstorms and heavy rain — Tuesday night’s elimination game between the two teams has been moved to Wednesday morning.
That sets up a baseball triple-header in Omaha Wednesday, and a double-header for the team that wins the rescheduled game between Kentucky and Florida. Wednesday’s new schedule for the Men’s College World Series is as follows, with all times Eastern:
- Game 10 Kentucky vs. Florida | 11 a.m.
- Game 11 Tennessee vs. the winner of North Carolina/Florida State | 3 p.m.
- Game 12 between Texas A&M vs. the winner of Kentucky/Florida | 7 p.m.
Both Florida and Kentucky are 1-1 in Omaha. The Gators are coming off a 5-4 win over NC State that kept their season alive, while the Wildcats just dropped their first game in Omaha to Texas A&M, losing by a final score of 5-1.
The SEC rivals played one series this year in early May, and the Wildcats won two of those three games in Gainesville.
