Patriots and Braves baseball series changed

Due to the forecast of rain on Saturday, the schedule for this weekend’s three-game Peach Belt Conference baseball series between 12th-ranked Francis Marion University and seventh-ranked UNC Pembroke has been pushed back one day.

The series will now start with a doubleheader on Sunday (April 17) at 1 p.m. on FMU’s Cormell Field.  The series will conclude with a single game on Monday afternoon (April 18) at 3 p.m.

Admission to the contest is $6 for adults and $4 for students with FMU students being admitted free with a valid identification card.

Francis Marion (30-10) continues to lead the PBC standings with a 13-5 mark, while UNC Pembroke is 33-7 overall and 13-7.

Francis Marion leads the overall series 60-29-1, but this will arguably be the most important meeting between the two programs since the PBC was formed in 1991.
