Bowling Green, Evansville Set For Four-Game Weekend Series
March 02, 2023 | Baseball
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Bowling Green State University baseball team will continue the non-conference schedule with a four-game slate at Evansville this weekend. The series will mark the last non-conference test for BGSU before the Mid-American Conference schedule kicks into gear next weekend against the Ohio Bobcats. The Falcons enter the series with a 2-4 record on the season, taking a win from both Tennessee Tech and No. 5 Louisville earlier this season.
Current Weekend Schedule
Saturday, March 4 | 1:00 p.m. EST
Saturday, March 4 | 4:00 p.m. EST
Sunday, March 5 | 12:00 p.m. EST
Sunday, March 5 | 3:00 p.m. EST
The weekend schedule was altered due to forecasted rain in Evansville. Friday's game has been moved to Sunday with the Falcons and Aces playing a doubleheader on both Saturday and Sunday. The first game of each day will be seven innings followed by a nine-inning second game. Should the first game either day go to extra innings, the second game will become a seven-inning game. The second game each day will begin approximately 45 minutes after the first game.
