ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UNLVRebels.com) – Due to inclement weather in the Duke City, UNLV and New Mexico will have to wait one day to begin their three-game, Mountain West series at Santa Ana Star Field. Friday's opener was slated to start at 5:00 pm PT (6:00 pm MT), but has been rolled over to Saturday afternoon as part of a doubleheader, with game one set for 12:00 pm PT (1:00 pm MT).
Sunday's series finale between the Rebels and Lobos has first pitch scheduled for 11:00 am PT (12:00 pm MT).
WEATHER ISSUES: With the postponement of Friday's game, UNLV has now had inclement weather alter its schedule five times this season, including back-to-back weekends at Houston and UNM. The first two instances occurred over consecutive weekends in the Golden State with series at Stanford and Fresno State; however, each affected game was completed. The last two instances – a home affair against Grand Canyon (April 16) and road tilt at Houston (May 2) – were canceled altogether.
