Centerfielder Dylan Crews is hitting .420 and was named the SEC player of the year. He's the consensus top prospect in this July's amateur draft. Next is 6-foot-6, 247-pound pitcher and Air Force transfer Paul Skenes. The righty throws 100 miles per hour, leads the nation with 167 strikeouts and was named SEC pitcher of the year.

BATON ROUGE, La. — The NCAA tournament baseball game between Oregon State and LSU scheduled for Saturday night in the Baton Rouge Regional has been moved to Sunday at 2 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

A lightning storm delayed the elimination game between Tulane and Sam Houston in the seventh inning with Sam Houston leading 7-2. That game was delayed by more than three hours and it was unsure when it might resume.

The delay lasted long enough to ensure that the Oregon State-LSU winner's bracket game would not be able to start before an NCAA-mandated deadline.

According to the NCAA host operation manual, regional games must begin by 11 p.m. local time.
