MSUB Softball Games Cancelled (4/5/07)

BILLINGS, MT – Thursday’s scheduled Heartland Conference doubleheader between Montana State-Billings and St. Mary’s University has been cancelled because of snow.  The teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader Friday beginning at 11:00 a.m.  A determination on whether those games can be played will be made Friday morning.

The Yellowjackets (18-20 overall, 6-5 HLC) have now had five of their last six home games cancelled because of wet spring weather.  Prior to that, MSUB had not had a home game cancelled since the 2002 season, the Jackets’ first year in Cenex Stadium.

St. Mary’s (31-14, 8-3) is currently in second place in the Heartland Conference standings.  They are followed by MSU Billings and Incarnate Word (16-22, 6-6).  The Yellowjackets are scheduled to host Incarnate Word on April 13 and 14 to close out the conference schedule.  St. Edward’s is in the driver’s seat for the top seed in the Heartland Conference tournament (April 26-28) with an 11-1 league mark.
