Game Notes: Northwestern


EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's scheduled Wednesday doubleheader against Illinois has been postponed due to inclement weather in the forecast. A makeup date for the series currently is being worked out, and will be announced as soon as possible.

NORTHWESTERN HOMESTAND CONTINUES AGAINST MARYLAND
The Wildcats remain at home this weekend to face Maryland, marking the Terrapins first visit to Sharon J. Drysdale Field since they joined the Big Ten. Unlike Wednesday, the forecast calls for BEAUTIFUL weather in Evanston!

Friday will feature a Pom-Pom giveaway at the park, while Saturday's game will be held just after the Northwestern Football open spring practice at Ryan Field. Any participants in the Youth Football Clinic Saturday can attend softball for just $3. Sunday will have a pre-game session called "Eat + Train + Softball," where young players can learn how to fuel properly for the upcoming softball season with a member of the Northwestern Nutrition staff.

WELSH-RYAN ARENA CONSTRUCTION
Fans are encouraged to park in the lot east of Ryan Field (The "East Lot") to avoid the construction barriers in place for the ongoing Welsh-Ryan Arena renovation project. Fans also should be aware that Sharon J. Drysdale Field will have temporary restroom facilities until the completion of the project, and that the left-field bleachers have been removed. The right field bleachers remain in place.
