College Baseball vs. Mother Nature

Papp Park in Taylor is home to the Henry Ford Community College baseball team. The field is not ready to host games.

     The college baseball season in the state of Michigan has been at the mercy of Mother Nature, and despite the official arrival of Spring, all levels of baseball are being affected by the cold weather.  Games scheduled in March are usually dicey, but this years record breaking snow totals, combined with the record breaking temperatures have created impossible conditions for baseball.  Several games throughout different levels of college baseball have already been postponed, or cancelled all together. Teams from the Midwest face many disadvantages in the current college baseball structure, and scheduling issues provide one more challenge for schools located in the state of Michigan.
     College baseball in the Midwest has been labeled throughout the South, and West as being of a lesser quality, but the top teams in the Midwest can play against anybody.  Sometimes the Conferences from the Midwest such as the Big 10, and the MAC (Mid-American Conference) aren't loaded from top to bottom, but there is definitely talent, and parody in the Midwest, and throughout the landscape of college baseball.  
     Every season, schools from the Midwest send their baseball programs down south to play almost the first half of their season on the road.  When the teams return to their campuses, the weather is still cold, and teams are forced to sit around while games are postponed, or cancelled all together.  Players avoid live ball action, and then play half of their remaining games on the road.  Several double headers are plugged into the schedule to make up for the games affected by rain, and the weather for the remaining games resembles December football weather, as opposed to baseball weather in the Spring.
     Scroll down to see a list of some college games that have already been cancelled, or postponed due to the cold weather.  Click on the links below for more information about NCAA Division 1 Baseball, NCAA Division 2 Baseball, the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), or the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association).
