TAMPA, Fla. - Marshall University's baseball team is set to face the University of South Florida for a three-game weekend set today.

This weekend's series marks the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Today's contest begins at 7 p.m. and marks The Bulls' home-opener for the season. Saturday's game is also slated for a 7 p.m. start, while Sunday's first pitch will be at 11 a.m.

The series can be followed via Live Stats which will be provided on the USF website, www.goUSFbulls.com.

The Thundering Herd (3-3) enter today's contest having had three of its last four games cancelled due to inclement weather, and had its most recent game, its home-opener at The Kennedy Center versus Morehead State, postponed due to darkness. Wednesday's contest with the Eagles was deadlocked at 4-4 after 12 innings before being called. The teams will resume that contest next Wednesday prior to the regularly scheduled game. Both will take place in Morehead, Ky.
