SUGAR LAND, Texas – With rain in the forecast this weekend, HBU will now host Hofstra in a three-game series Friday and Sunday at Constellation Field, home of the Houston Astros AAA affiliate Sugar Land Space Cowboys.
 
The series will begin with a doubleheader Friday at noon, beginning with a seven-inning game, followed by a nine-inning contest. The series will conclude with a single game Sunday at 12:30 p.m. All three games will be broadcast on the Husky Sports Network with Russ Reneau.
 
Senior infielder/outfielder Jake Miller has hit safely in the first five games of the season, leading the Southland Conference with a .526 batting average, a home run, three RBIs and three runs.
