The Kentucky baseball team announced on Monday that tonight’s game against Northern Kentucky is cancelled and will not be made up.
According to the UK announcement the game was cancelled by mutual decision.
“Our team faced multiple extended delays over the weekend, extensive travel days and challenging rest and recovery periods,” the announcement read. “We play a critically important conference series beginning Thursday that demands putting our student-athletes in the best position possible for success.”
Oddly enough, the NCAA put out a statement later in the day on Monday stating that teams could be punished by the selection committee for cancelling games for reasons not related to weather.
