FAMU baseball will have to wait to play its SWAC Tournament semifinals game, in which a win would advance it to the championship game. Here’s why.

Florida A&M baseball’s Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals game will have to wait. Originally scheduled for Friday, May 22, at 7 p. m.

Eastern Time, the Rattlers (29-22) will now meet the winner of Southern and Texas Southern on Saturday, May 23, at 1 p. m. Eastern Time.

The Southern-Texas Southern game was also moved from Friday afternoon to an evening start at 8 p. m. The SWAC Tournament, played at Birmingham, Alabama’s Rickwood Field, has been affected by rain during the five-day playoff.

FAMU has gone perfect in the double-elimination bracket, beating Texas Southern 8-6 in the opening round and then defeating Southern 15-6 behind a hitting masterclass by All-SWAC First Teamer Jackson McKenzie . Whomever the Rattlers face on Saturday must beat them twice to advance to the SWAC Championship game on Sunday, May 24. Sunday’s title game starts at 2 p.
