Feb. 2—Weather issues in Mississippi have prompted Cumberland baseball to call an audible and head for Georgia for its season opener.

The Phoenix we're originally slated to open the 2023 schedule in Hattiesburg, Miss., against Point University as well as host William Carey University. Due to weather issues in the weekend forecast, the Phoenix have elected to change direction and head to Emerson, Ga., for a weekend skate at Lakepoint Baseball Complex.

Cumberland will now open up the season against St. Andrews University on Friday. First pitch for the game is set for 2 p.m. CST. The Phoenix will follow that with a doubleheader on Saturday against Indiana-Kokomo and Point. The doubleheader will start at 10 a.m.

Live stats will be available for the games on the CU website and the Cumberland radio crew of Randy Sallis and Tyler Alford will call the games at WANT FM 98.9 and WCOR AM 1490.
