Louisiana-Lafayette (45-6, 11-0 Sun Belt) took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a two-out home run by second baseman Brittany Bryant.
The game was delayed after Bryant's home run when lightning struck in the area at 1:27 p.m.
After waiting for 5 hours, 43 minutes, game officials deemed that the rain wouldn't stop in time to finish the game in a suitable amount of time which would have left ample time to start a second one.
Play will resume Sunday at Noon with two outs in the bottom of the first inning and Louisiana-Lafayette's Lacey Bertucci at the plate. All stats will remain intact with Louisiana-Lafayette holding a 3-1 lead.
Following the completion of Saturday's first game, a doubleheader will be played as regularly scheduled.
No games will be started after 7 p.m.
In other Sun Belt action Saturday, Florida International (25-30, 7-7 Sun Belt) swept a doubleheader from Middle Tennessee (30-16, 10-4 Sun Belt) 5-4, 1-0 to give the Ragin' Cajuns a four-game lead over MT in the loss column in the league standings.
