Louisiana baseball vs Coastal Carolina delayed by rain at Sun Belt tournament

In the top of the seventh inning, Louisiana baseball's second-round game against No. 24 Coastal Carolina entered a rain delay at Dabos Field in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Ragin' Cajuns were taking on the Chanticleers in a double-elimination game for Day 2 of the 2026 Sun Belt Baseball Championship presented by Troy University. It was 3:35 p.m. CT when the weather delay was announced.

UL announced on its X account that the game will resume at 4:26 p.m. with the Cajuns batting in the top of the seventh. The Cajuns will have a runner at first base with two outs and lead-off hitter Blaze Rodriguez up to bat when play resumes.

At the time of the delay, the Cajuns had retaken the lead after allowing the Chants to come back from a 7-0 deficit. UL was ready to respond after Coastal's comeback with freshman catcher Colt Brown kicking things off with a leadoff double to start the seventh inning. Third baseman Drew Markle followed him with a single and designated hitter Steven Spalitta cashed in for his fourth RBI of the game to give UL back the lead at 10-7.

The Cajuns didn't stop there, adding another insurance run thanks to second baseman Owen Galt, who delivered an RBI single just before the game was delayed.

The Sun Belt has yet to announce how long the delay will last.
