ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Winter weather has forced Missouri Western’s baseball home opener to be rescheduled and moved. The Griffons were to play No. 4 Emporia State in a four-game series Friday through Sunday in St. Joseph. Those games will now be played in Emporia, Kansas on Thursday and Friday.

MIAA rules will allow Missouri Western to still be considered the home team, though the games will be played in Emporia.

The fourth ranked Hornets are 4-0 and ended the Griffons season last year with two wins in the MIAA Tournament.

Missouri Western will enter the series with a 3-4 record. MWSU Head Coach Buzz Verduzco will begin his quest for 300 MIAA victories as he enters the MIAA schedule with 298 conference wins.
