JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State will host Central Arkansas for a three-game series beginning Saturday afternoon to open senior weekend.
The Gamecocks (27-16, 13-5 ASUN) face a tall task in the final home series of the season, welcoming the league-leading UCA Bears (33-9, 16-2 ASUN) to Jana McGinnis Field. The three-game weekend will go a long way in determining postseason seeding with the Bears and Gamecocks both aiming to solidify their spot in the conference's top four along with Liberty and Austin Peay who go head-to-head this week as well.
The marquee weekend gets a prime time start with Saturday's doubleheader moved to 5 p.m. to follow the university's graduation ceremony earlier in the day. Game two on Saturday will start at approximately 7 p.m. or 30 minutes after game one.
