February 16, 2017 | Baseball
WEST POINT, N.Y. – The 2017 Army West Point baseball season will officially begin Friday with two games down in Louisiana.
The Black Knights are set to face off with service-academy rival Air Force, No. 3 LSU and No. 33 Tulane during their weekend in the Bayou State.
Army plays the Falcons on Friday at noon Central time (1 p.m. ET) in a neutral site game at LSU's Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. A few hours later, the Cadets will travel the short 80-mile trek to New Orleans to meet up with Tulane in a nightcap. That contest is slated for 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) at Tulane's Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
The following day the Black Knights head back to Baton Rouge to take on nationally ranked LSU at 4 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) before closing out their trip down south with a noon (1 p.m. ET) first pitch at Tulane on Sunday.
NOTE: Sunday's game at Tulane was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. Central time but has been moved up an hour to accommodate Army's travel plans.
