Southern Connecticut State University baseball has announced schedule changes to this weekend's Northeast 10 Conference series against American International. Originally slated to play a three-game set on Apr. 19-20, with a single game on Friday, Apr. 19, the Owls and Yellow Jackets will instead meet at 10 a.m. on Friday, Apr. 19 to play a doubleheader. The third game of the series will be moved to Tuesday, Apr. 23 at 3:30 p.m., which was originally scheduled to be a matchup against NE10 Northeast Division foe Southern New Hampshire.

With the threat of inclement weather, Owls fans should refer to the Official Website of Southern Connecticut Athletics, SouthernCTOwls.com, or the Official Twitter account of Southern Athletics, @SCSU_Owls, for up-to-the-minute schedule changes, as well as the latest news, scores and highlights.

PLAYOFF PICTURE | NE10 STANDINGS
  • It's still a little blurry, but it looks brighter for the Owls after Southern's win against New Haven on Tuesday, Apr. 16. Southern sits in fourth place in the Southwest Division at 4-5 and trail third-place Pace at 5-5. The Yellow Jackets are in second place in the division at 5-2, while Adelphi is in first place at 5-1. 
  • Southern is tied in the division standings with Saint Rose, whom they split with on Mar. 30. The third game of the series is scheduled for Monday, Apr. 22 in New Haven.
  • With single games against Saint Rose, Adelphi on Wednesday, Mar. 24 and New Haven on Tuesday, Apr. 30, as well as a three-game series against Pace on Apr. 27-28, plenty of movement is expected over the final two weeks of the regular season.

ALL-TIME AGAINST AIC
  • Southern owns a 60-35 record against the Yellow Jackets in the all-time series.
  • Last season, Southern and AIC split their four games, with one standing as a non-conference matchup, giving AIC a 2-1 in-division edge last season.
  • The Owls are 8-3 against AIC over the last three seasons, with 2018 standing as the only series' win for the Yellow Jackets since 2006.
