St. Thomas baseball will have to wait a little longer for its home opener as poor weather conditions have altered the team’s schedule once again.

Friday’s home game against South Dakota State will be postponed due to wet fields. The team will instead open its series against the Jackrabbits on Saturday, April 2 in River Falls, Wisconsin, at 6:30 p.m. The Tommies will be considered the home team although it will be played on a neutral site.

The second and third games will be played in a doubleheader at Koch Diamond at 11 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. Sunday. Both games will be nine innings.

Head women’s basketball coach Ruth Sinn and graduate student Kaia Porter joined Tommiemedia’s The Locker Room Thursday to discuss incoming recruits and Porter’s impact on the program.

Sinn called Porter a “tremendous ambassador” of the women’s basketball program on and off the court.

Of the transition to Division 1 this season, Porter said she is grateful for the opportunity to come back and she told Sinn “if you guys are going to do this, I want to be a part of it.”

Porter’s last game as a Tommie concluded with a 61-56 road win over Nebraska-Omaha in late February. The Tommies finished the season 7-21 overall and 4-14 in the Summit League.
