Rain revamps tournament schedule

From staff reports and a Conference USA release

NEW ORLEANS — Due to heavy rains on Thursday in the New Orleans area, the schedule of games at the 2008 Entergy Conference USA Baseball Championship has been revised.

After East Carolina defeated Rice 4-3 in Thursday's first game, the day's other three games were washed out by the inclement weather, forcing a reshuffling of the tournament's remaining schedule.

The weather disruption marks just the second time in the 13-year history of the Conference USA Baseball Championship that a game could not be completed on its scheduled day.

In 2005, the championship game was not played because of torrential storms and lightning in the Hattiesburg area

The revised schedule for Friday, Saturday and Sunday (all times Central Daylight Time):

FRIDAY

6.   9 a.m. - Tulane vs. Central Florida
7.   12:30 p.m. Houston vs. UAB
8.   4 p.m. - Marshall vs. Southern Miss
9.   7:30 p.m. - East Carolina vs. game 7 loser

SATURDAY

10.  9 a.m. - Game 6 winner vs. game 8 loser
11.  12:30 p.m. - Game 7 winner vs. game 9 winner
12.  4 p.m. CDT - Game 8 winner vs. game 10 winner
      7:30 p.m. CDT - Same teams as game 11 (if necessary)

SUNDAY
