Weekend Series with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Moved Due to Weather



The Peacocks are 0-4 after one weekend on the road. UIU will head to SIU-Edwardsville looking for their first win of the 2008 season.

Feb. 20, 2008

The Peacocks' weekend series with the Cougars of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville has been moved from Edwardsville to Marion, Illinois. The teams will lose one game of the scheduled four game set, but will play a double header on Saturday, Feb. 23 (7/9 Inn.), and one nine inning game on Sunday, Feb. 24.

The games will be played in Marion at the Rent One Park, home of the Fronteir League's Southern Illinois Miners. The entire field including the infield and outfield, as well as the sliding areas, batters box, and pitcher's mound are field turf and can handle wet weather much better than natural turf and clay.
