BATON ROUGE - The American Red Cross will collect donation's at Saturday's LSU-Alabama baseball game, a doubleheader since weather canceled the first game Friday night.

Donations will be collected starting at 4 p.m., between the first and second games. The Red Cross has a part in seven shelters that are still open since severe weather caused wide-spread flooding. In the Baton Rouge area, a shelter remains open in Tangipahoa Parish at the National Guard Armory on E. Railroad Ave. in Independence.

Saturday's doubleheader begins at 2 p.m. Game 2 is slated for 6 p.m.

The SEC opener for both teams was scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Friday, however continuous lightning strikes made the game impossible.

If you had tickets to Fridays game, those can be used to get into Game 1 Saturday.
