The Ferris State University softball team announced on Mar. 18 that its scheduled home opener against Saginaw Valley State, set for Saturday, March 21, has been postponed because of field conditions caused by recent weather.

According to the university’s announcement, “The two teams are currently working on a make-up date for the doubleheader, which will be announced soon.” The team also said that it still plans to host Wayne State on Sunday, March 22 at 1 p.m., if field conditions improve.
