The Bevo Classic softball tournament at McCombs Field in Austin, Texas has been postponed to Sunday due to steady rain in the area on Saturday. Originally, Texas was scheduled to play Ohio State and Syracuse, but the game against Syracuse was canceled. Now, Texas will play a doubleheader on Sunday, facing Ohio State at 11 a.m. and Northern Illinois at 1:30 p.m.

Why it matters

The Bevo Classic is an important early-season tournament for the Texas Longhorns softball team, which is currently ranked #1 in the country.
