Please note today’s doubleheader was previously scheduled for April 18, but was moved up to today in order to accommodate the open date on the schedule. The team’s schedule has undergone various postponements this season, due to bad weather and unplayable field conditions.

The Baruch softball team will return to action again on Monday with a 3:30 pm CUNYAC doubleheader at Lehman College.
