College World Series weather updates: UCLA-LSU postponed until Tuesday morning after thunderstorms sweep across Omaha image

Through three innings, UCLA and LSU's joust in the College World Series was shaping up to be a compelling — and run-filled — affair.

The Bruins and Tigers' lineups showed off their considerable talent, combining for eight runs, seven of which came during a frenetic first inning.

The college baseball heavyweights already proved themselves capable of letting off fireworks atop Charles Schwab Field. But Mother Nature is a wicked enchantress, particularly at Omaha. The match was halted as rain and thunder descended upon college's baseball's Parthenon. Play will resume on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. local time).

With that, here are the latest updates on UCLA and LSU's matchup after stormy weather prompted tournament organizers to put a halt to the contest.
