FLORENCE, South Carolina — It has been two weeks since the No. 6 Francis Marion baseball team played a game, or faced any live pitching, for that matter. That’s one reason the Patriots wanted to reschedule an April 5 rainout against Winston-Salem State ahead of next week’s Peach Belt Conference tournament in Columbus, Georgia. After taking two of three games from USC Aiken two weekends ago, the Patriots had a long break for final exams.
FMU (33-14) is hoping tonight’s game against the Rams will help it get ready for Wednesday’s first-round tournament game against host Columbus State.
"Regardless of the outcome of this game, we just needed to play somebody, to see live pitching, to get our pitchers out there to do more than just throw some bullpen sessions,” FMU coach Art Inabinet said. “We needed to get our competitive juices flowing and hopefully get us ready for next week.”
