Winter Storm Fern has taken away the most appealing local college baseball matchup of 2026.

Reigning NAIA World Series champion LSU Shreveport and NCAA Division III Centenary were slated to meet in a neighborhood battle Tuesday night, but weather pushed the contest back a day. Late Tuesday afternoon, LSUS announced field conditions haven’t improved enough for the Centenary game to be played Wednesday.

No makeup date is expected. The teams did not play last year when the Pilots went 59-0.

LSUS has a college baseball record 61-game winning streak. It was not going to be on the line against Centenary because the game was slated as an exhibition contest.

The Pilots (2-0) continue play this week with Mid-America Christian (Okla.) on Thursday and a Sunday doubleheader against Hope International (Fla.).
