LYNCHBURG, Va. – Playing in the national semifinals of the NISC, Kennesaw State and Lamar had their game suspended by rain Tuesday night with the Cardinals leading 5-4 in the middle of the fifth inning.
 
The NISC tournament committee at Liberty Softball Stadium will attempt to resume the game Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. ET.
 
The game was back and forth early with the Owls scoring twice in the top of the first thanks to RBI singles from Courtney Sutter and Noelle Winkles. The game began with consecutive singles from Hannah Thomason and Olivia Tamewitz, who each later scored thanks to Sutter and Winkles.
 
Lamar struck back with a run in the home half then grabbed the lead with two runs in the third.
 
Winkles led off the fourth with her first triple this season and eventually scored the equalizer when Chandler Griffin stroked an RBI single to left.
 
Another two-run frame gave the Cardinals the lead again, and the Owls had one more answer before the rain delay thanks to consecutive two-out doubles from Tamewitz and Kira Czyrklis in the fifth.
 
With the initial start of the game delayed four hours and 30 minutes by rain, a steady rain fell for much of night once the game began. The umpires halted play following the Owls' run in the top of the fifth with Lamar leading 5-4.
 
Tamewitz and Winkles each had two of the Owls' eight hits before the delay.
 
The winner of the game advances to the NISC championship, while the loser remains alive to face Liberty in the double elimination tournament.
 
With more rain in the forecast, Wednesday's remaining schedule is to be determined.
