Due to poor field conditions in Kingston, RI, Duquesne's Atlantic 10 opening series at Rhode Island has been moved to Dodd Memorial Stadium in Norwich, CT. Game times will remain at noon both Saturday and Sunday.
Dodd Stadium, home of the Norwich Navigators, a class AA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, is the host venue for the 2004 Atlantic 10 Championship. It was also the host last year when the Dukes qualified for the post-season tournament for the first time in school history.
Update: The DU-URI weekend series was actually played in Kingston after an accident Thursday night on I-95 east of Bridgeport, Conn. closed the road in both directions. Fortunately, Bill Beck Field's conditions improved enough for the games to be played.
