THIBODAUX, La. - The Nicholls State University athletics department issued a statement today concerning Sunday's baseball game at Starkville, Miss against Mississippi State, using NCAA Rules to clarify the situation.</p>
"I wish to correct a misunderstanding regarding the cancelled baseball game between Nicholls State and Mississippi State. I believe MSU baseball coach John Cohen and Southeastern Conference representative Chuck Dunlap misspoke in referring to our game as a forfeit," said Nicholls State Athletic Director Rob Bernardi.</p>
A check of the NCAA Baseball Rule Book indicates that the game be ruled a no contest. This was confirmed with representatives from the NCAA.</p>
Section 4-2b, states that the umpire in charge (UIC) will consult with game administration to determine suspension, resumption or termination once a game has begun. Only the UIC can suspend play once the game has begun since the officiating crew was not able to arrive due to the weather conditions, no one was available to start the game. Given the poor field conditions and lack of NCAA officials at the site,the game is ruled a no contest.</p>
"It was certainly a reasonable decision to cancel the game, given the circumstances. Games scheduled at the University of Mississippi, Auburn University and the University of Alabama were cancelled due to weather related conditions. Again, those games were cancelled, not forfeited," said Bernardi.</p>
"I fully expect that Mississippi State will adjust its record accordingly," added Bernardi.</p>
