SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- With sunshine and above normal temperatures melting away snow and ice, the Augustana baseball team is set to open up their 2019 home schedule this week. 

Originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 20, the Vikings will now take on Minnesota Duluth on Thursday, March 21 for a doubleheader at Ronken Field. Game one starts at 12:00 p.m. and game two will take place around 2:00 p.m.

Augustana (10-5, 3-0 NSIC) is coming off a three-game sweep of Bemidji State last weekend. Minnesota Duluth (4-7, 2-1 NSIC), recently split a four-game series with Upper Iowa.

Starting this season, admission is now charged for all home baseball and softball games. Ticket prices are only $5 for adults and $2 for youth. For doubleheaders or days with games at both Ronken and Bowden Field, only one ticket must be purchased.
