PITTSBURG — The Pittsburg State University baseball team's home opening series with MIAA rival Emporia State University has been adjusted due to the threat of inclement weather this weekend.

The Gorillas and Hornets originally were scheduled to play a single game Friday (Feb. 28) at Al Ortolani Field at 4 p.m., followed by a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday (Mar. 1) and a single game Sunday (Mar. 2) at 1 p.m.

Now, Pitt State will host Emporia State in a doubleheader Thursday (Feb. 27) at 1 p.m. (CST) at Al Ortolani Field. The remaining two games of the four-game series will be determined at a later date.

The Gorillas enter the series with a 3-4 overall record and a 2-2 mark in MIAA play. Pitt State split a four-game MIAA series against Fort Hays State University last weekend at Hays, Kan. The Hornets are 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the MIAA. ESU split a four-game series against the University of Central Oklahoma last weekend at Emporia.
