Threatening weather on Sunday has forced a change in this weekend’s series. Here’s the details…

Tonight’s opener will be played as scheduled at 6:35 p.m. The squads will now play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 2:05 p.m. One ticket will be good for both games and there will be 30 minutes between contests (both nine inning games). There will be no game on Sunday.

Those holding tickets for Sunday’s game will be able to redeem that ticket for admission to any regular-season game except the Baylor and Texas contests. Contact the Athletic Ticket Office or visit the Olsen Field box office on game days for more information.

Once again, the new schedule for the weekend is as follows:

Friday, February 19 – 6:35 p.m.

Saturday, February 20 – 2:05 p.m. (DH)

Sunday, February 21 – no game

Texas A&M hosts the Seton Hall Pirates in this weekend’s season-opening series. Friday’s first pitch is just a few hours away (6:35 p.m.).

2B Andrew Collazo
DH Joe Patterson

LF Brett Parsons
3B Matt Juengel

A little bit about the opponent: Seton Hall (South Orange, New Jersey) returns 21 letterwinners, 15 position players and one starting pitcher from a 2009 squad that went 25-24 and finished ninth in the Big East at 13-14 … the Pirates were picked to finish 10th in the Big East by the league’s head coaches … Rob Sheppard (Seton Hall ’92) begins his seventh season as the head coach … SHU has made 16 NCAA tournament appearances, with the last coming in 2001 … Seton Hall is one of the oldest collegiate programs in the country, first playing baseball in 1863 … for more information visit www.shupirates.com.
