ATHENS, Ga. — While Texas A&M and Oklahoma are enduring a weather delay at the SEC softball tournament, officials are confident that a break in the rain will allow the championship game to start approximately 30 minutes after the tarp covering the field gets pulled, according to a Texas A&M official.

The OU softball team's quest to win its first SEC Tournament title will have to wait as the Sooners' game against Texas A&M will start in a rain delay.

Texas A&M secured its highest seed in program history after a second-place finish in the regular season. As the No. 2 seed, the Aggies also received a double-bye to the quarterfinals. In the tournament, TAMU has defeated South Carolina (6-2) and Texas (14-2, 5 innings) to reach the championship game.
