Baseball Eager to Start Season (2/23/06)

BILLINGS, MT – After having last weekends games cancelled due to inclement weather in Colorado, the Montana State-Billings baseball team finally has their chance to get in the dirt.  The team headed to Nampa, Idaho to take on Northwest Nazarene University February 24 and 25.  Each day will feature a double-header.

This is the Jackets inaugural season in the Heartland Conference and was picked to finish sixth in the pre-season polls.  The Crusaders have eight games under their belt this season and are 2-6 overall.  Friday’s first pitch is scheduled for 12 noon.  Saturday’s double-header is set for 2:00 p.m.

Following the games in Idaho, the Yellowjackets will make a two-week swing through Texas playing Heartland Conference games against St. Mary’s (TX), Incarnate Word, and St. Edward’s March 1-13.
