EVANSTON, Ill. - Friday's scheduled baseball series opener between Northwestern and Purdue has been postponed due to rain. The teams will play two games Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Admission for Saturday's contests is being offered at a discounted rate of just $3. The second game of the doubleheader is being televised live by Big Ten Network.

A reminder to fans that a special spring Wildcat Alley is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Much like during the football season, the spring version of the Alley will feature games, food, face painting and chances to meet Wildcat student-athletes. There also will be a special Easter Egg Hunt for children of all ages.
