Spring Break is here at Wabash College, but for most Little Giant athletes involved in spring sports that means a trip south for plenty of action.
The Wabash baseball team has already made one trip south, playing two games last week in Birmingham, Alabama. The Little Giants split the double-header, losing to Birmingham-Southern 8-2 before defeating Huntingdon College 11-7. Sunday's game against Birmingham-Southern was cancelled due to heavy snow in the area --- the first major snow of that kind in nearly a decade.
The Little Giants head to San Antonio, Texas this weekend for a series of ten games in the region over the next week. Wabash will play DeSales (3-4) Saturday evening at 7 p.m. (CT). The complete Wabash schedule during the team's trip to Texas is as follows:
Saturday, March 7
Wabash vs. DeSales (at Trinity) - 7 p.m.
