ST. JOSEPH – Due to weather and field conditions in St. Joseph, Missouri Western baseball’s scheduled weekend series with Northeastern State has been moved to Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

The weekend forecast in Tahlequah also resulted in the coaches altering dates and game times. Missouri Western will play as the home team at Northeastern State in a doubleheader on Thursday, March 7 that begins at 11 a.m. and a single game on Friday at 1 p.m.

It would have been the Griffons’ fourth home series of the season, instead its the fourth-straight home series the Griffons have had to cancel or move to another site due to weather. Missouri Western canceled a series with St. Cloud State; moved its MIAA opening series with Fort Hays State to Edmond, Oklahoma and canceled a two-game non-conference series with Southern Indiana. The Griffons’ next scheduled home contest is Wednesday, March 13 against Maryville.

Missouri Western is 7-6 overall and tied atop the MIAA standings with a 5-1 conference record after taking two out of three at No. 25 Missouri Southern last week.
