Heavy Rain Forces Yet Another Round of Schedule Changes for the NAIA Softball World Series

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The 2026 NAIA Softball World Series has been hit by the weather bug once again, with play being interrupted on Tuesday.

Play was halted in the bottom of the fourth, with Indiana Wesleyan and Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) scoreless. That game will resume at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday with the winner advancing to face Southeastern (Fla.) in Game 18 at noon ET.

The Game 18 Winner will then move to the championship round to face No. 1 seed Madonna (Mich). First pitch is set for 45 minutes following the conclusion of Game 18.

Madonna is the last remaining undefeated team, and should it lose on Wednesday, a second championship game will be played on Thursday at 11 am ET.
