Contact: Evangel University Athletics 865-2815, Ext. 7282
The Evangel baseball team was hoping to begin its 2008 season tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 12, at home against Ottawa (Kans.) University. Due to the inclement weather, however, the Crusaders will travel to Ottawa on Wednesday, Feb. 13, for the noon double-header. Evangel will then host Ottawa on April 2, instead of traveling to Ottawa as originally scheduled.
Weather permitting; the Crusaders are scheduled to then host Park University in twin double-headers on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 15 and 16. The first game will begin at noon on both days.
Under the guidance of second-year head coach Lance Quessenberry, the 2008 Evangel baseball team will play a 33-date schedule that includes 16 home dates and a trip to Clearwater, Florida, to play in the Clearwater Invitational. In addition, Evangel will compete in 14 Heart of America Athletic Conference double-headers.
