NC State, Vanderbilt College World Series Game Delayed Due to COVID-19 Issues

Friday's College World Series semifinal game between NC State and Vanderbilt has been delayed due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols within the Wolfpack program.

The Wolfpack announced the game, which was initially supposed to start around 2 p.m. ET, would instead begin at 3:07 p.m. ET. "An undisclosed number of players from the team have been put into COVID-19 protocol and will be unavailable for today's game," NC State said in a statement.

The school has not released the name of the player who tested positive for COVID-19. According to ESPN, second baseman JT Jarrett and pitcher Evan Justice are not at the ballpark.
