Rain, lightning postpones Arizona baseball series opener vs. USC

It doesn’t rain often in Tucson in May, but when it does it apparently impacts college baseball games between Arizona and USC.

The Wildcats’ series opener against the Trojans was postponed Thursday night due to rain and lightning. The teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader Friday at Hi Corbett Field, with games scheduled for 1 and 6 p.m. PT.

Lightning in the area pushed back attempts to start the game until about 9:45 p.m. Thursday, but once the tarp was removed from the field more rain showed up and the teams opted to push the game to Friday afternoon.
