Two college baseball teams had an impromptu jousting tournament during a rain delay

By Gemma Kaneko

Yes, you read that headline right -- a rain delay! While MLB is still in Spring Training mode, college baseball is already playing real games, and yes, enduring rain delays. On Tuesday, George Washington University was supposed to play Delaware State at 3 p.m., but the start time was moved back due to inclement weather.
Luckily, players from both teams found a way to pass the time … by pretending they lived in Medieval Europe and staging a joust:

George Washington won that contest and the game, shutting out Delaware, 8-0.
