Rain forces CWS final postponementOMAHA, Neb. — The College World Series championship game between Coastal Carolina and Arizona was postponed until today because of inclement weather in the Omaha area on Wednesday night.NCAA officials waited 2 hours, 23 minutes after the scheduled start time to postpone the game.More rain and lightning were forecast for the area in the early morning hours, meaning a delay would have been likely.The best-of-three series is tied at a game apiece.“I think it was a great decision after the amount of delay we had and the length of time it would take to get the teams ready to go,” Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore said. “You don’t want to play a national championship game and finish at 3 o’clock in the morning.”Coastal Carolina (54-18) will be playing for its first national title in any team sport.
