SEMO baseball opens season with series win

There's snow on the ground, but despite the frigid temperatures it's officially college baseball season.

The Southeast Missouri State baseball team kicked off the 2015 campaign at home over the weekend winning two of three games over Bowling Green.

The Redhawks were scheduled to play a four-game series, but with the threat of winter weather on the way Sunday afternoon the teams canceled the Sunday contest and wrapped up the three-game series Saturday afternoon.

Southeast is scheduled to resume play this weekend at home against Illinois State. The contests are set for 3 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Here's hoping the field will be playable so the Redhawks can continue the early portion of the schedule.

Southeast baseball has a strong tradition of winning baseball. And there's few places better in Southeast Missouri to watch a game than Capaha Field.

We wish the Redhawks well this season and hope winter's bluster won't put a damper on the early portion of the schedule. Make plans to root on the team, and other university sports teams, in the coming months.
