Northeast Bradford Elementary School issued the following announcement on Mar. 24.
Fresh off a three-game home stand where the offense scored 27 runs, the Mansfield University baseball team will look to ride that momentum into their series with No. 12 East Stroudsburg University, beginning on Friday, March 25 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division action.
The Mounties travel to the Warriors for a noon doubleheader on Friday, March 25 before returning to ESU on Saturday, March 26 for a single game at noon.
