Arkansas and McNeese State were set to start a three-game series on Friday from Baum-Walker Stadium.
The three games will still happen, but the start date has changed.
The school announced Thursday that Friday’s opener was postponed because of the threat of inclement weather. The two teams will now play a doubleheader starting at noon Saturday and close the series on Sunday.
Arkansas is ranked No. 3 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll, jumping two spots this week after sweeping Murray State over the weekend. The Diamond Hogs (10-2) are on a six-game winning streak overall, having beaten Michigan and Grambling before Murray State and Central Arkansas earlier this week.
McNeese State, with a record of 8-5, has won eight straight games. But the Cowboys were swept by Arkansas’ SEC rival Texas A&M to kick off the season by a combined score of 31-1.
Both of Saturday’s games are scheduled for nine innings as Saturday’s forecast calls for clear skies and temperatures in the 60s.
