Florida Gators baseball fans, grab your rain jackets and settle in—Mother Nature is calling an audible at Condron Ballpark. The Gators' final home series opener against Kentucky has hit a weather delay, pushing back Friday night's first pitch.
Scheduled to throw the first pitch at 6:30 p.m., the game entered a delay at 5:46 p.m. as ominous clouds rolled over Gainesville. While officials haven't announced a new start time yet, the expectation is that this SEC showdown will still happen tonight—just a little later than planned.
According to the latest forecasts, there's only a 25% chance of rain, so the odds are in favor of baseball. But for now, it's a waiting game for both teams and the Gator Nation.
This series marks the last home stand of the season for Florida, making every inning at Condron Ballpark that much more meaningful. If you're heading to the ballpark or tuning in from home, here's the full weekend schedule to keep handy: Saturday's game is set for 4 p.m., and Sunday's finale is slated for a noon start.
Stay dry, Gator fans—and get ready for some late-night SEC baseball action.
