MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of Memphis baseball team will makeup its two canceled games against Ohio on April 29-30 when it hosts Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State in a weekend set.

On Sat., April 29, the Tigers will face UAPB in the twinbill of a doubleheader. The Golden Lions and the Delta Devils will play the early game at 1p.m., before Memphis and UAPB square off at 5 p.m. The U of M and MVSU play on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The weekend's slate of games will replace the originally scheduled season-opening weekend versus Ohio that was canceled due to snow and ice in the Memphis area.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley are both members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). MVSU, alma mater of Jerry Rice, is currently 19-21 on the year and 15-5 against SWAC opponents. UAPB was 15-20, 9-12 in SWAC play going into weekend action.
