The final game of the Lone Star Showdown baseball series between Texas and Texas A&M was canceled on Sunday after a full day of weather delays in College Station. The Aggies had already clinched the series win by taking the first two games, leaving the weekend without a conclusion on the field.

Why it matters

The Lone Star Showdown is one of the biggest rivalries in college baseball, and the series finale was expected to be a highly anticipated matchup. The cancellation due to weather leaves the series unfinished and denies Texas a chance to avoid being swept by their in-state rival.

The details

Originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. first pitch on Sunday, the finale was repeatedly pushed back due to storms in the area, with officials trying start times of 7:30 p.m., 8:15 p.m., and finally 9:30 p.m. before ultimately calling off the game after a total of 8 hours and 26 minutes of delays. Texas A&M had already won the first two games of the series, securing the Lone Star Showdown trophy before the finale could be played.
