TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Despite the teams' best efforts to play, the Purdue vs. Longwood softball game was halted and will resume tomorrow at 9 a.m. ET. The Boilermakers were able to get through the first four and a half innings before the day's third weather complication forced the decision.
The score was tied, 1-1, with Purdue's first batter up at the bottom of the fifth. Freshman outfielder Khloe Banks scored the Boilermakers' lone run on a wild pitch in the third inning.
Purdue was out-hitting Longwood, 5-4. Neither team had committed an error.
Meanwhile, Mo Wimpee led the team in the circle with four strikeouts.
The game, originally scheduled for 9 a.m. ET then moved to 11:15 a.m., was to be the first of the day for the JoAnne Graf Classic. Lightning halted competition in the bottom of the first for an hour and 10 minutes, before the final three-hour rain delay led to rescheduling. No other games will be held today. As a result, the JoAnne Graf Classic schedule for the remainder of the weekend is under review and will be adjusted.
