COLLEGE BASEBALL

Warriors move weekend series to the road

Fans will have to wait a little longer to watch Lewis-Clark State baseball at Harris Field.

Instead of hosting College of Idaho in Lewiston this weekend, the Warriors will play a four-game series in Caldwell because of anticipated inclement weather in Lewiston over the weekend.

LC State will play a doubleheader at College of Idaho at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Pacific on Saturday, resume play at 1 p.m. Sunday and finish the series at 10 a.m. Monday.

The series at the College of Idaho previously scheduled for April 11-13 has been moved to Lewiston.

LC canceled its four-game set versus Western Oregon last weekend also because of weather.

The new LC State home opener is scheduled to be versus Eastern Oregon at noon March 8.
