Forecasting the First weekend of A-Sun Baseball

MACON, Ga. - The college baseball season gets under way this weekend with all 11 A-Sun teams in action with 10 squads hosting games.

Given the crazy weather of the past few weeks the A-Sun Insider decieded to take a look at what fans can expect this weekend. Thanks to Weather.com for the forcasts.

Belmont and Lipscomb (Nashville, Tenn.)
The Bruins welcome Evansville to Shelby Park for a three-game set this weekend to open season. Games get underway at 3:00 p.m. CT Friday at Shebly Park. Saturday, the Bruins and Aces are scheduled for a double header starting at noon CT.

The Bisons look to do battle with Murray State starting at 4:00 p.m. CT on Friday at Dugan Field in a three game set schedule to go through Sunday. These games are in question after the Lipscomb softball team cancelled its doubleheader against UAB set for Tuesday.

Friday looks good to ball some ball but it will be chilly as the high is set for 46 but they are calling for a chance of showers the rest of the weekend.
