ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - Due to rain in the extended forecast, Ouachita baseball's final home series of the 2016 season has been pushed back to Saturday and Sunday. The Tigers will host Southern Nazarene University on Saturday, April 23, at noon and 3 p.m., and finish the series on Sunday, April 24, with a nine-inning contest scheduled for noon. 

Ouachita's 10 seniors will also be honored during the series, beginning with a senior-recognition ceremony at 11:40 a.m. on Saturday before the first game.
