The Memphis Tigers men’s baseball team announced on Apr. 18 that the second game of their series against Rice at Reckling Park in Houston will begin at 12:05 p.m., two hours earlier than originally scheduled, due to potential weather concerns in the area.

The schedule change is intended to ensure player safety and minimize disruptions from expected inclement weather. Adjusting game times for weather is a common practice in college baseball, especially during spring when storms are frequent.

Fans who plan to attend or follow the game are encouraged to note the new start time. The Tigers also advise supporters to check the team’s official website and social media channels for further updates regarding schedules and other information.

No additional background about previous games or series standings was provided by the team. The announcement focused solely on Saturday’s rescheduled first pitch.

As teams across collegiate sports adapt their schedules around unpredictable spring weather, timely communication remains important for both players and fans.
