The teams had already taken the field and were ready to play -- but then the rains came, wiping out Wednesday night's scheduled college baseball game between Southeast Missouri State University and visiting Memphis.

"We could have probably waited longer, but it's a non-conference game and the benefits of playing the game just didn't outweigh the negatives," said Southeast coach Mark Hogan. "Both teams have big conference series this weekend."

Southeast will try to lock up home-field advantage for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament when the Indians host Tennessee Tech in a three-game series this weekend.

Also this weekend, there will be two special events. The "Tiger" Joe Uhls Baseball Locker Room, which the Indians have been using all season, will officially be dedicated Saturday with an open house.

Named for the former longtime Southeast coach, the dedication of the locker room will be held from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Many of the late coach's family members will be on hand.

The locker room, located in Houck Field House, was made possible through donations by the Uhls family, former players and other contributors.

Also, it will be Kohlfeld Distributing Day at Capaha Field Saturday, with free beverages and hot dogs provided. The Indians and Tech will square off in a 4 p.m. doubleheader.
