NORFOLK, Va. | Norfolk State University head baseball coach Keith Shumate announced on Thursday a schedule adjustment to the 2023 home opening series against Morehead State.
 
The Spartans, who went 15-32 overall last season and 12-18 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), were scheduled to open the season on Friday as the two teams planned to play a four-game series. However, inclement weather scheduled for Friday forced changes to the weekend series.
 
Norfolk State and Morehead State will now play two games on Saturday, starting at noon. The first game will be nine innings, followed by a seven-inning affair from Marty L. Miller Field. On Sunday, the two teams will play a doubleheader, two seven-inning games, starting at 11 a.m.
 
The Spartans are playing their first season in the Northeast Conference (NEC) and were selected ninth in the preseason coaches poll.
 
First pitch for Saturday's twinbill is set for 12 p.m., followed by the second game at 3 p.m.
