Baseball game set for TV
MOBILE, Ala. — The April 24 Sun Belt Conference baseball game between South Alabama and Middle Tennessee will be televised by Comcast Sports Southeast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS), as announced by the University of South Alabama Athletics Department Monday.
The game has been rescheduled for a 2:30 p.m. start to accommodate the live telecast. The contest was originally slated for 4 p.m. The three-game series between the two Sun Belt powers is scheduled for April 23-25 in Mobile.
CSS has approximately four million subscribers across 11 Southeastern states. Viewers in the middle Tennessee area may view the contest on cable Channel 27.
South Alabama and Middle Tennessee have played some memorable games in recent years. During the 2001 campaign, Middle Tennessee’s John Williams pitched a complete-game on the final day of the regular season, as the two teams shared the conference crown.
Middle Tennessee opens a season-high seven-game homestand Tuesday against Belmont at 7 p.m. The Blue Raiders host Lipscomb Wednesday at 7 p.m. before Arkansas State comes to town Friday through Sunday. The homestand ends with contests against Vanderbilt (April 20) and Austin Peay (April 21).
