Rain cancels IU date with Evansville

Wednesday’s game between the IU baseball team and the Evansville Purple Aces in Evansville was postponed because of heavy rain. No new date has been set for a make-up, according to an IU Athletics press release. \nThe game, scheduled for 4 p.m., was postponed after heavy rainfall in the Evansville area left conditions unfavorable for the game. \nThe Hoosiers (7-7) will open their home schedule with a two-game set this weekend against IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne at Sembower Field in Bloomington. IU had previously been forced to play all of its games on the road in warmer climates because of wintry weather in the Midwest. Snow and ice postponed a March 6 game against Indiana State in Terre Haute. \nSaturday’s game against the Mastodons is scheduled for 3 p.m., and the Sunday contest is slated for 1 p.m.
