Rain pushes back UNC-South Carolina NCAA baseball super regional finale

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The threat of bad weather has forced the postponement of Monday night's final game in the South Carolina-North Carolina super regional series.

The deciding game in the best-of-3 series is scheduled for Tuesday at noon and will air on ESPN2.

A tornado watch was in effect for the Chapel Hill area and surrounding counties until late Monday night, while forecasters also expected scattered thunderstorms and showers.

Rain forced the postponement of Friday's series opener to Saturday. The No. 1 overall seed Tar Heels (56-10) won that game 6-5, but the Gamecocks (43-19) won 8-0 on Sunday.

North Carolina sophomore right-hander Benton Moss (8-1) and South Carolina freshman lefty Jack Wynkoop (7-3) are scheduled to start the game, which will send the winner to the College World Series.

LATE SUNDAY

Oregon State 12, Kansas State 4

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Michael Conforto and Dylan Davis hit back-to-back home runs in a five-run first inning and Oregon State went on to beat Kansas State to force a decisive third game in the NCAA super regional series late Monday.

Oregon State's Tyler Smith and Kavin Keyes each had four hits and Oregon State (49-11) combined for a season high 21 hits. Andrew Moore, the Pac 12's freshman of the year, allowed six hits and three earned runs over eight innings, striking out a season-high nine batters.
