OMAHA, Neb. --- Due to rain forcing a change in the College World Series schedule, sixth-ranked Georgia will now play seventh-ranked Stanford here Saturday at 2 p.m. ET (ESPN2).

The Bulldogs (43-23-1) were slated to play the Cardinal (41-23-2) Friday but showers in the Omaha area forced the postponement of the LSU-North Carolina elimination game Thursday. The Tigers and Tarheels will now play on Friday while the rest of the field will have an off day.

For Georgia, it will mark its fourth straight off day following its win over Stanford 4-3 on Monday. The Bulldogs are 2-0 in their bracket while the Cardinal eliminated top-ranked Miami on Wednesday. Georgia needs to win one more game to advance to the national championship best-of-three game series, which will still begin Monday. Meanwhile, the Cardinal would need to defeat Georgia on Saturday and Sunday to win the bracket.

The Bulldogs will now practice Friday at Creighton University at 11:15 a.m. CT. Bulldog head coach David Perno and the Georgia student-athletes will be available after practice for the media.
