Tennessee Tech Baseball Weekend Preview (2/21)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech baseball team hits the road for the first time in 2019, making a trip south for a three-game, weekend series at South Alabama beginning Friday at 6:30 p.m. CT. Game two is set for a 2:00 p.m. first pitch while the series finale is slated to begin at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
With inclement weather expected across the entire southeast this weekend, fans are encouraged to check social media and the TTUSports.com website for updates concerning this weekend's schedule.
Tech's originally scheduled Wednesday tilt at No. 14 Clemson was postponed due to expected rain and inclement weather while the Jaguars saw one of their two midwee match-ups postponed as well. South Alabama also suspended its Tuesday contest against Alabama State in the bottom of the fourth inning due to fog.
Tennessee Tech (3-0) at South Alabama (1-2)
