Baseball/Weather update

Today is a busy day, trying to figure out where we are going to be able play our conference games this weekend.  According to the official schedule, we are supposed to head to Decorah after our games vs. St. Scholastica tonight in the Metrodome.  It is unrealistic to think that their field is dry enough for that to happen, so we have a couple of alternate sites that we are looking at, each one needs a special approval from the Conference office and there are a lot of logistical factors that need to be taken care of.

By the time we leave today at 1:00 pm, we will try and have a better idea of what our plans will be.  More than likely we will return to Storm Lake on Thursday, and make plans for a weekend series vs. Luther (the conference opener).  While the forecast has gotten better for the weekend, there is still a lot of drying that has to take place at some of these alternate sites.

However, since we lost some games vs. Peru St., I have added Northwest Missouri State for a DH on Monday, March 24th (beginning at 1:00 pm in Maryville).  This gives us a chance to play some varsity games before we play Central next weekend, and acts as an insurance policy in case our games vs. Luther are not played.  

I will try to post another entry before we leave today with more weekend details.  We look forward to playing tonight vs. a very good St. Scholastica team, it should prepare us for what we will see when the conference season begins (whenever that might be).
