ST. JOSEPH – Forecasted flooding in the St. Joseph area has required significant changes to the 2019 Hy-Vee Classic schedule. Due to the threat of flooding at Bill McKinney Softball Complex at Heritage Park, games will only be played at the Spring Sports Complex on the Missouri Western campus.

The abbreviated schedule also brings changes to the participating teams and the dates and times of the event. The softball classic will now begin with two games on Thursday, March 21. Five games will be played on March 22 and March 23 with four games on March 24.
