CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The University of Virginia softball team’s game against 19th-ranked Georgia Tech Saturday (April 2) at The Park was halted in the fourth inning due to inclement weather. The game will be resumed on Sunday (April 3) at 11:30 a.m. with the Yellow Jackets leading 1-0 with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The second game of the series will be played 20 minutes after the conclusion of the halted game. The third game of the series will not be played.
