The No. 1 Texas Longhorns (39-9, 19-6) were taken off the field in the bottom of the fifth inning of game two of their three-game series against the Florida Gators (34-17, 12-13) due to a weather delay with lightning in the area. A delay was called just before 2:30 p.m. CT and will last at least 30 minutes, and could go longer depending on how the weather situation around UFCU Disch-Falk Field continues to develop. For now, the earliest resume time would be around 3 p.m. CT or so.
