Saturday Evansville Game Facing Rain Delay Or Postponement (5/4)

[bluepower]

"If it's game day, then rain must be in the forecast." There's very few days where that hasn't been true this season (well, maybe more than a few).

Saturday's game is being threatened by a slow moving band of rain. embedded with thunderstorms. The band--as of 10:30 a.m. (ET)--is just beginning to move into the Terre Haute area and will slowly drag across the region over the next several hours.

The ISU Softball Team has already said their game may not start 'till 3:00 or 4:00 this afternoon.

We'll keep you updated.

Here's the page for Terre Haute from the National Weather Service. Radar icon on the lower right:

Word just in that the 1:00 (ET) start will hold...but rain will threaten game.

As of 1:25 (ET), Radar is showing tat steady rain will continue and within the hour, heavy rain could come through causing a rain delay for an extended period.

As of 1:50 (ET), it appears heavier rain and possibly a thunderstorm are minutes away leading to an extended rain delay.

At 3:00 (ET) another, heavier area of rain and possibly a thunderstorm, is approaching Terre Haute. There is NO let-up in sight. There could still be a rain delay coming up. If this field didn't have artificial turf, this game would have been over long ago.

They are now under a rain delay in the top of the 7th inning.

This game has been postponed due to continued moderate to heavy rain and it will resume in the top of the 7th tomorrow at 1pm (ET) with the 3rd game of the series to follow.
