The University of Kentucky has changed its baseball schedule for this weekend because of a forecast for rain in Central Kentucky on Sunday.

Instead of the originally scheduled three games in three days, the Wildcats (9-3) will play USC-Upstate (8-6) at 4 p.m. Friday and wrap up the series with a doubleheader Saturday at Cliff Hagan Stadium.

Saturday’s first game will begin at noon. The second game will start 30 minutes after the first game ends.

Friday’s series opener will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1580-AM in Lexington and online at UKathletics.com..
