Columbia, SC: First Pitch Delayed
By Roger Olivieri - June 04, 2007
Today's Charlotte @ South Carolina game (or games, if Charlotte wins the first) has been delayed. With a massive Southern thunderstorm about 10 miles away, officials have decided to push back the start time to 4:25. For those in other parts of the country, it sounds odd to have "massive thunderstorms" in the same sentence with a 25 minute delay. However, in South Carolina and other states way "down here," it's not unusual to have sun blacked out suddenly by massive clouds, then a massive downpour and then sun again in twenty minutes.
That's the case. The Niners will send Luke Stahl to the mound against Gamecock sophomore Mike Cisco. Stahl has a 2.06 ERA in 6 starts while Cisco has a 3.91 ERA in 12 starts.
