Game 1 of Auburn baseball’s super regional series against Coastal Carolina entered a weather delay going into the bottom of the sixth inning.

The delay is due to lightning being detected within in eight-mile radius of Plainsman Park, despite no rain falling at the time the delay began.

Coastal Carolina led Auburn 6-3 at the time of the delay, but put up a scoreless frame in the top of the sixth before the delay was called. Much of the offense came in a four-run fourth inning surge, highlighted by a three-run home run off the bat of Blagen Pado.

Auburn right fielder Ike Irish hit a home run of his own in the fifth inning to cut the deficit to three runs, but the Tigers will have to wait to try and continue the rally.
