JACKSONVILLE – Tuesday's weather forecast for Jacksonville has prompted Jacksonville State to alter its midweek baseball contest with Troy.

The Gamecocks and Trojans will push their scheduled Tuesday evening match up to Wednesday afternoon due to the line of rain showers that are predicted for the area on Tuesday night. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. on Rudy Abbott Field at Jim Case Stadium.

The game will not be available on ESPN+ due to the JSU women's basketball team hosting Liberty in the semifinals of the 2022 ASUN Women's Basketball Championship on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. Wednesday's contest will have an audio-only stream on YouTube. The audio link will be available on JSUGamecockSports.com.

Tickets that were purchased for the Tuesday, March 8 contest will be honored at the ticket gate on Wednesday.

Jax State (4-6) enters the contest riding a four-game winning streak after a win over Southern Mississippi on February 27 and a weekend sweep of Siena this past weekend. The Trojans claimed a weekend series over Kennesaw State at home last weekend.

With the exception of the shortened season in 2020, Jax State and Troy have met every season dating back to the 1970 season. Wednesday's duel will be the 134th meeting between the two longtime rivals with the Trojans leading the series 76-59. Last season, the two programs split the season series with each team claiming a win on its home turf. The Gamecocks will travel to Troy on April 12.
