Tennessee baseball’s second game against Oklahoma was suspended due to a lightning delay in the seventh inning, with the Volunteers holding a 5-3 lead. The action stopped at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City at 8:48 p.m. CT, and the broadcast confirmed a resumption no earlier than 10 p.m. local time.

The delay follows NCAA safety protocols, which require a stoppage if lightning strikes within eight miles of the ballpark, with play resuming 30 minutes after the last strike. SEC rules add that the game must restart by midnight local time, unless a travel curfew applies—which isn’t the case here.

Tennessee (36-18, 14-14 SEC) is aiming to clinch its final SEC series of the season after winning the opener 9-7 on May 14. The series finale is scheduled for May 16 at 3 p.m. ET on SEC Network+.

For fans tracking the Vols’ postseason push, every game matters—and a lightning delay only adds to the drama. Whether you’re gearing up for the next pitch or the next game, having the right gear can make all the difference.
