With rain in the forecast for Tuesday, the Virginia Baseball home opener against VMI has been rescheduled for Wednesday at Disharoon Park with first pitch slated for 3 p.m.

The game will air live on ACCNX as originally planned.

Because of the date change, the game will not have an audio broadcast on WINA (98.9 FM/1070 AM) or on WINA.com.
